What is PEARLS? PEARLS was created to help educate older adults about what depression is and what it is not and helps them develop the skills they need for self-sufficiency and more active lives.
How long does PEARLS take place? The program takes place in six to eight sessions over the course of four to five months in a community-based setting that is more accessible and comfortable for older adults who do not see other mental health programs as a good fit for them. The first 4 will be free of charge.
*Older adults do NOT need to be diagnosed with depression in order to participate in PEARLS.
