The senior stage of life with its unique challenges often requires new or not often used coping skills. These unique challenges are retirement; chronic and/or episodic health issues, generational conflict in families; significant loss; financial changes; downsizing; and caregiving. And, now, as a high risk population, seniors' coping with the risks with Covid-19 is a huge stressor. Frederika Granger, LCSW-C (Program Manager of the Positive Aging Program at Aspire Counseling) will help us get perspective on how experience and wisdom serves us and help us develop a revised tool kit of coping skills. Participants will learn about Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Stages of Development and how we can adapt or modify our life skills in order to enjoy this stage and tolerate the uncertainty that comes with the pandemic. RSVP to director@bmavillage.org by the day before the program for a Zoom link. Friends, family and neighbors are welcome.
