The Mental Health Association of Maui's monthly brown- bag session will focus on "Mental Health Services for Our Senior Citizens." This month's event will be at noon today at the Cameron Center.

Deborah Arendale of Project OASIS (Older Adult Specialized Information Services) will be guest speaker. Arendale, also a member of the Maui Geriatric Mental Health Hui, will discuss mental health problems facing seniors, such as Alzheimer's disease, depression, anxiety disorders and substance abuse.

The brown-bag events are free and open to the public. Two continuing education credits are available at each event for $10 per member and $15 for nonmembers.
