This event will provide an opportunity for supportive conversations and skill-building for older adults, local organizations, and community members. With expert guidance, together we will explore four topics: isolation and connection, sex and love in the later years, and grief and loss, stigma and emotional wellness, with older adult clients, friends, family members, and as older adults.
This discussion will include a panel and conversation groups on any one of the four topics. Panelists include:
-
Dr. Jane Mildred, Amherst Neighbors, on Isolation and Connection
