<A HREF="https://www.samhsa.gov" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">SAMHSA</A>’s Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy (<A HREF="https://www.samhsa.gov/brss-tacs" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">BRSS TACS</A>) invites you to join national experts in a conversation about how treatment and recovery services can best meet the unique needs of older adults.
With a growing population of older adults in United States, it will be important for mental and substance use disorder providers to adapt services to best meet this group’s unique needs. Older adults with mental health issues or substance use disorder face many barriers to care, including misdiagnosis, lack of knowledge, and challenges to accessing services. Through outreach, screening, and client engagement strategies, organizations can adapt the best practices they already use to engage older adults in treatment and recovery support services. 
Presenters will describe the changing landscape of treatment and recovery services for older adults, highlight best practices emerging across the field, and share how recovery support services, such as peer services, can improve client outreach and engagement.
