Welcome To Older Adult Services
Mental health is essential at every stage of life, and there are LACDMH services in place to address our population throughout the lifespan. Older Adults age 60+ receive mental health services in our DMH directly-operated and our DMH-contracted adult clinics, countywide. Services in these agencies typically involve screening and assessment, case management, individual/group/family treatment, and crisis intervention, as needed. These services are available to help Older Adults manage their mental health as well as improve their quality of life.
LACDMH also works collaboratively with various partners throughout the County in our aim to broaden knowledge of resources available to Older Adults and to their families and caregivers. Information and links to these resources can be found on this webpage.
