Best Practices for Non‐Pharmacological Treatments for Older Adults in the Geriatric Mental Health Outpatient Services (GMHOS) at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH)

Facilitator feedback and evidence from the literature emphasize the importance of tailoring interventions to participant needs while fostering scalable and inclusive approaches. Integrating evidence-based therapies like Y-CBT and CST alongside enhancements to existing programs can address critical service gaps in GMHOS. Future steps include piloting new therapies, evaluating their long-term impacts, and ensuring sustained improvement in outcomes for geriatric outpatients.
