Aging Discussion at Senior Planet Online

Posted on September 18, 2025 by autocreate740

Those of you who follow my podcast and blog posts know that I am committed to providing you with “News You Can Use” to enhance your well-being and wellness regimen. 🙂

Every time I receive my newsletter from Senior Planet, I look forward to uncovering the latest updates, tips, and opportunities available online—many of which can be accessed at our convenience. Their content is often focused on empowerment, technology, and community engagement, making it a go-to for anyone wishing to navigate aging proactively.

As we age, particularly those who are 65 and older, it’s crucial to address the challenges that come with this stage of life. Understanding these challenges and discovering what other aging adults are doing to not only cope but to truly “embrace” the aging process can be invaluable. It is in this exploration of empowerment and adaptation that I consistently turn to Senior Planet as a trustworthy resource. Their wealth of information is tailored for older adults, and I find their insights exceptionally relatable and practical.

On Friday, September 19, 2025, join the Aging Discussion Group – Lunch & Learn.
It will be a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the resources available and to connect with others who share similar interests. The link below provides further details and registration information. Let’s not only be informed but also engaged in our aging journey together!

BIPOC for the Aging Population

Posted on July 6, 2025 by autocreate740

Always “News You Can Use” 🙂

Mental Health America focuses on Black, Indigenous People of Color for the month of July, highlighting the unique challenges and experiences of these communities. They provide comprehensive toolkits and various support information on their website, which I have shared extensively on my podcast to raise awareness and foster understanding.

In addition, Mental Health America website offers insightful information regarding the impact and disparities for BIPOC communities.

The Our Bodies Ourselves website provides videos and programs featuring elderly individuals who candidly discuss the challenges they have faced throughout their lives, shedding light on the importance of resilience and community support. You can listen and learn from their stories while reading that information at the link below, which I believe will enrich your understanding of mental health across generations and encourage empathy toward those navigating their own mental health journeys.

All the best for your well-being 🙂
