Don't brush it under the carpet.
There is a hub that is designed both for adults who need support, and for family, loved ones and professionals in contact with at-risk older people. You are not alone if you are struggling.
Older people’s mental wellbeing campaign:
Don’t brush it under the carpet
A new campaign to improve mental wellbeing and raise awareness of self-harm and suicide in older people has been launched by Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust who deliver mental health, learning disability and neurodevelopmental services in Sussex.
The ‘Don’t brush it under the carpet’ campaign aims to:
- reach and support older people who may be feeling depressed and alone, and guide them to the right support.
- raise awareness of the issue of self-harm and older people, amongst carers, family members and health professionals to enable them to support someone they know who may be struggling.
