I think this is an area where we have a lot of opportunities to strengthen what we are already doing. There are certainly people who are champions across the country in local communities who do excellent work, but I don't think we're doing it well enough yet.
I think it's really important, too, to think about the two separate cohorts that we talk about: our current cohort of older adults who really grew up with a lot more of the stigma associated with mental illness than perhaps our next cohort may experience; and then the baby boomers, a very different generation, the one that we often talk about when we talk about this boom or tsunami that might be coming.
I think there are opportunities in the curriculum. Right now we know that medical students, for example, receive very little information about mental illness in general, and mental illness in late life in particular. Right now we don't have a lot of mechanisms to reach people who are currently in practice and to introduce them to some of the newer assessment tools, some of the risk factors, and the opportunities for treatment in late life.
