This webinar was presented in May 2022 by the RTOERO Foundation featuring Dr. Gail Low Associate Professor, University of Alberta, Faculty of Nursing and Dr. Gloria Gutman, Professor Emeritus, Simon Fraser University, Gerontology Research Centre & Department.

How has the pandemic impacted the mental health of older adults in Canada? Which evidence-informed strategies are most effective in helping older adults reduce anxiety and cope with fear and loneliness? These questions and more will be answered through a new research study called Mentally healthy living after social distancing – A study of older Canadians funded by the RTOERO Foundation. The webinar provides an overview of the study.
