Empowered Seniors Speaker Series - Wednesday January 8, 2025.
Fresh and new aspirations often come with a new year. As we age, many of us become more focussed on achieving balance between our physical and emotional well-being. Among the many challenges of aging, mental health is one that is rarely discussed. The normal aging process can bring with it such issues as depression, chronic grief, and anxiety.
Older adults need a safe space to discuss these issues, and this month’s seminar, Caring for the Aging Mind – How to Prioritize Wellness in Later Life will not only provide that, but will allow for open discussion about mental health among seniors. The Empowered Seniors Speakers Series is thrilled to welcome psychotherapists from Burlington’s Peachey Counselling who will provide an overview of common mental health concerns. Jennifer Murdock, Kirsten Davidson, and Adrianna Zabel will share their expertise in this session.
During this seminar, you’ll learn:
- What are the most common mental health concerns
- How normal aging affects mental health
- Where to seek help
- Some coping mechanisms for significant life transitions
- Practical tips for maintaining good mental health
- The benefits of individual and group counselling
- How to proactively manage and protect mental health
Join us on January 8, 2025 for this informative and relevant seminar. The event takes place from 1:30-3:00 pm in the Shoreline and Rotary Rooms at the Burlington Art Gallery. Reserve your free seat by calling 905--330-5201 or visiting www.empoweredseniors.ca
