How can social support reduce depression in elderly people living in Canning?

How do I arrange in-home psychology or counselling for an elderly parent in Canning?
A GP in Canning can issue a Mental Health Care Plan providing Medicare rebates for up to 10 psychology sessions per calendar year, many of which can be delivered as home visits for older adults who have difficulty travelling.

MD Home Care connects families in Perth with mental health providers who offer home visits for older adults.
How do I talk to an elderly parent about getting mental health support in Canning?
Many older adults in Canning feel reluctant to seek help for depression due to stigma or a belief that low mood is a normal part of ageing, so framing the conversation around physical wellbeing and quality of life rather than mental illness can help. Starting with a GP appointment is often the least confronting first step, as the GP can raise concerns and make referrals within a familiar medical context. MD Home Care can connect your family in Perth with providers offering in-home companionship and psychology services once support is accepted.
