As the population of older adults doubles, the working age population will decrease as a percentage of the overall population. One strategy for addressing the impending workforce shortage is to engage able older adults to be a part of the workforce.

Each presenter will speak about the varying professional and/or volunteer human service roles that older adults can play especially as they relate to addressing the mental health needs of older adults.
