摘要
This article addresses the mental health care needs of three groups of older adults with layered marginalities: undocumented immigrants, those with serious mental illness, and those with intellectual disabilities. The needs and barriers related to mental health care provision for these groups are complex. Providing adequate support will require substantial changes at all care levels, including a need for legal access to care, adequate numbers of healthcare providers, additional training on aging for providers, and addressing stigma about including these groups and about mental health care needs. Addressing these needs will require resources and social and political will.
