Huntsman Mental Health Institute Presentation

Healthy Minds: Overcoming Mental Health Challenges in Aging
This Huntsman Health Institution presentation will focus on maintaining our brains as we age and dispelling myths about aging and mental health. Panelists will provide evidence-based information about the six most important ways to maintain and improve brain function.

About The Huntsman Mental Health Institute
The Institute was innovated in establishing geriatric mental health services with the Geriatric Psychiatry Clinic and the Optimal Aging Program. They hope that this will be the first step in recognizing the importance and lack of access to older adult mental health care in Utah and the nation. Huntsman Mental Health Institute’s Optimal Aging Program is pioneering in older adult mental health day treatment. There is no program like it in the Intermountain West.

Moderator
Anne Asman holds a Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Gerontology from the University Of Utah School Of Nursing. She is the Program Manager for the Geriatric Psychiatry Clinic and the Optimal Aging Older Adult Mental Health Day.
