Local mental health providers have urged people to consider that the holidays can bring sadness for some, particularly older adults who may be dealing with loss and loneliness. Janice Jones, a therapist for adult services at Central Clinic Behavioral Health, said many older adults face depression and isolation. The clinic has begun a program to assist these individuals with mental health care and help them find a sense of purpose. Providers also warned that spring can bring risks people may not expect, particularly for those already experiencing suicidal thoughts.
