As mental health continues to be a priority across Minnesota, new programs in and around Detroit Lakes are stepping up to support the emotional well-being of older adults. These initiatives focus on helping individuals manage depression, anxiety, and other challenges often associated with aging.
In Detroit Lakes, Lakeland Mental Health Center has expanded its services to cater to the mental health needs of older adults. The center offers outpatient therapy, psychiatric evaluations, and medication management, helping seniors navigate the emotional challenges they may face, such as grief, loss of energy, or changes in appetite. Lakeland’s outreach services also extend to those struggling with rehabilitative mental health needs and offer community support, ensuring that no one feels isolated in their journey to mental wellness.
Similarly, Solutions Behavioral Healthcare provides psychosocial rehabilitation, case management, and illness recovery services for older adults. Their focus on holistic mental health treatment includes individual and group therapy, emphasizing coping mechanisms that can help seniors regain control of their mental health. Solutions also offer suicide prevention services, a critical resource for addressing the mental health crisis among older populations.
For those who seek a community-centered approach to mental wellness, A Place to Belong is an inclusive social club for adults with serious and persistent mental illnesses. The club offers a safe space for members to socialize, participate in recreational and educational activities, and work on managing their mental health in a supportive environment. Isolation and loneliness are often major barriers for older adults seeking mental health treatment, and this program is designed to remove those roadblocks by fostering a sense of community and belonging.
These programs are part of a larger effort to provide compassionate, accessible mental health care to older adults in the Detroit Lakes area, ensuring everyone can lead a happier and healthier life.
