Getting Older and Getting Wiser...Let's Talk About You

Duration: 1 - 2 hours

Successful aging through participation in productive activity is closely linked to both self-efficacy (the belief that one can exert some control over one's life) and to a positive sense of self.

Round table discussions for persons with disabilities and self advocacy organizations are offered in the following topic areas:

  • Making Choices and Decisions
  • Aging: What Does It Mean for Me?
  • Things To Do and People to Know: Being a Member of the Community
  • Work and Retirement Options
  • Housing/Living Situations
  • Getting Around: Transportation and Travel
  • How's Your Love Life?: Dating and Marriage
  • Wishes and Dreams for Your Future
  • Dealing with Loss in Your Life and Supporting a Grieving Friend

A series of sessions is the recommended format.
