Staying engaged can mean reinventing ourselves and doing things we never had the opportunity to do before!

Join Kathleen as she focuses on the importance of combating social isolation and living independently, in a fully engaged manner, as we age. 

In this single-session course, Kathleen will discuss the detrimental effects of social isolation on our physical and mental health, how to stay safe at home, and the importance of utilizing resources available to older adults as a way to remain independent. She will also discuss how becoming involved in one’s community and engaging with others will serve to revitalize us as we age. 

Thriving, Not Surviving will teach us that as we age, we can continue to contribute to society. Reinventing ourselves and doing the things we never had the opportunity to do before is a good start because merely existing as we live out our days is not a solution!

What to Expect: 

In the course “Thriving not Surviving,” we will gain a deep understanding of the detrimental effects of social isolation on health. Kathleen will help us explore the myriad of resources available locally for older adults, learning how to access and utilize them effectively. Additionally, the course will provide insights into various ways to live fulfilling and enriched lives as we age, emphasizing the importance of connection and community. This engaging course aims to empower participants with knowledge and tools to thrive in their later years.
