Understanding Substance Use in Later Life

Substance use among older adults is more common than many people realize — and it often goes
unrecognized. This webinar explores how alcohol, prescription medications, and other substances
can affect older adults differently than younger people, what warning signs to watch for, and how to
access support for yourself or someone you care about. Whether you are an older adult, a family
member, or someone who works with older adults, this session offers practical information in a
judgment-free space.
