“Strategies for Addressing Solo Aging, Social Isolation, and Mental Health for Seniors”
Feb. 19 - 1 - 2:30 pm - Beatley Central Library, 5005 Duke Street
Many older adults in our community are aging by themselves or what we like to call “solo aging.” This can cause anxiety and a fear of loneliness, but it doesn’t have to be that way. By taking advantage of resources to stay connected to the community and developing a network of friends, solo aging isn’t so scary, and even maybe the best time of one’s life.
Senior Services of Alexandria, along with At Home in Alexandria (AHA), a local senior village, is bringing together a group of experts in the field to talk about this topic by exploring practical strategies for supporting older adults as they navigate solo aging, combatting social isolation and prioritizing their mental health.
Speakers include Steve Gurney of the Positive Aging Community, and Rhonda Williams, Supervisor of the city’s Older Adult Clinical Services Team.
Also, attendees will learn about local resources on how to stay connected to the community. This event is free! Please RSVP by email at events@seniorservicesalex.org or call 703.836.4414 ext. 110.
