Mental Health of Older People - New AOTI Advisory Group

The Mental Health of Older People Advisory Group (MHOPAG) is excited to officially launch and accept new members. We encourage any AOTI members working with older adults with mental health difficulties, or with an interest in this area, to join.

The purpose of MHOPAG is to encourage, promote, facilitate and support the advancement of Occupational Therapy practice within the area of Mental Health Services of Older People. We aim to work in partnership with older persons with lived experience of mental health difficulties.   

The MHOPAG Committee consists of Occupational Therapists who work in a variety of roles and settings across Ireland, including acute, long-stay and community.  

As this is a newly-established group, we welcome any members who are interested in taking on an active role within the committee. If you are interested, you can contact us on the following email address - [email protected]
