A multimedia community education program on depression and suicide in later life was designed for families, older adults and service providers. This program provides information and teaches skills necessary to recognize and respond to depression and suicidal behavior in the elderly. The Second Story, the Final Course, and the Winter Comforts are designed to facilitate and expand knowledge and skills concerning three common mental health concerns of later life: loss/grief, depression/suicide, and alcohol abuse (Fountoulakis, Gonda, & Rihmer, 2010).
