A Perspective on Overcoming Loneliness: Q&A with Pierre Lehu, co-author with Dr. Ruth Westheimer, of The Joy of Connections. Dr. Ruth became NY's Ambassador for Loneliness after the Surgeon General's declaration of a loneliness epidemic.

Join us on November 21st on Zoom as we honor Alzheimer’s Awareness Month with Dasha Kiper, author of “Travelers to Unimaginable Lands- Stories of Dementia, the Caregiver, and the Human Brain.” Dasha has worked for over fifteen years supporting care partners. She shares insights and perspective on why caring for a person with dementia can be so challenging, why care partners continue to engage in patterns —correcting, arguing, taking symptoms personally that they know are counterproductive, and provides profound wisdom on how the healthy brain and the mind of the person with dementia interact. https://uicny.org/events/ fay kahan Lorese Phillips Esq Laura Radensky Ron Bruno Arleen R.

Created by our intern Isabel Postelnek, this patch celebrates intergenerational collaboration, empowering Girl Scouts to connect with older adults and tackle ageism together. Through workshops, community projects, and shared experiences, scouts will build empathy, foster mutual respect, and become leaders for a more inclusive world. ??? Let’s bridge the generational gap and show that together, we’re stronger! ?? https://lnkd.in/e5_2r_Mw #AgeAndYouthInAction #GirlScouts #GrayPanthers #IntergenerationalActivism #EndAgeism
