Cannabis and Older Adults eLearning Modules / Modules d'apprentissage électronique sur le cannabis chez les personnes âgées

CCSMH Logo

Now available! Maintenant offerts!

This series of interactive eLearning modules developed by the Canadian Coalition for Seniors’ Mental Health (CCSMH) were designed in response to a gap in health care practitioner knowledge regarding cannabis and older adults. An extensive literature review in conjunction with a needs assessment survey distributed by CCSMH informed the content. These modules aim to ensure that healthcare providers have access to up to date evidence-based information regarding cannabis and older adults. 

Contact eLearning@baycrest.org for information on how to enroll in this program.

Une série de modules d'apprentissage électronique interactifs ont été produits par la Coalition canadienne pour la santé mentale des personnes âgées (CCSMPA) en réponse à une lacune dans les connaissances des professionnels de la santé au sujet du cannabis et de son utilisation par les personnes âgées. Pour enrichir le contenu, une revue de littérature approfondie a été réalisée et une enquête d'évaluation des besoins a été distribuée par la CCSMPA. Ces modules visent à permettre aux professionnels de la santé d'avoir accès à des renseignements actuels et fondés sur des données probantes au sujet du cannabis et de son utilisation par les personnes âgées.

The Memory and Aging Program


Older adults notice changes in their memory such as forgetting the name of someone they know, misplacing their keys or wallet, or forgetting to do things they intended to do.  These memory mistakes can be a source of significant concern and inconvenience.  Many older adults are not clear whether these changes are normal and are therefore looking for practical solutions to help them cope better in their day to day lives.

The Memory and Aging Program is an evidence-based education and intervention program for older adults experiencing normal age-related memory changes.  Through interactive lectures, discussion, and practical exercises participants learn about memory changes that occur with age - what's normal and what's not - and what can be done to improve memory.  Over 1,000 older adults have participated in the face-to-face program at Baycrest.  In the current project we will develop and on-line version of the program.

To date this program has been shown to provide participants with educational value by increasing their "toolbox" of memory skills and strategies while at the same time easing concerns by increasing a sense of normality.  Further, through participation in the program participants have become motivated to make brain-healthy lifestyle choices.  The implementation of an on-line version of the program will increase the flexibility of programming and expand the outreach to a broader audience.

Centre for Aging & Brain Health Innovation


The Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation (CABHI) at Baycrest Health Sciences in Toronto, Canada, is the result of the largest investment in brain health and aging in Canadian history. 

CABHI is a solution accelerator, helping drive innovation in the aging and brain health sector.  Our first-of-its-kind partnership of health-care, science, industry, and government experts is a hub for the design and development of innovations helping older adults age safely in the setting of their choice, while maintaining cognitive, emotional, and physical well-being longer.

Innovation in this sector is vital in order to address the growing demographics of an aging population, brain health, and seniors' care needs.  CABHI will make a positive impact in this sector by supporting collaborations between leading seniors' care organizations in North America and global innovators with promising solutions in medical devices, therapeutic approaches, emerging technologies, wellness and digital health solutions, health-care delivery practices, and practitioner/caregiver training and support.
