Baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) are entering their 50s and 60s. If you are a babyboomer with a mental illness, you must deal not only with the normal aspects of aging, but also with the losses likely to accompany a life-long mental illness. Participants in this workshop will learn not only about essential monitoring for conditions caused by medications, but also about how to evaluate training, employment, and housing needs from both a medical and a psychosocial perspective.
