Due to the continued concern associated with large gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic, Age Positive organizers have decided to reschedule the 5th annual Age Positive Conference for 2021. An announcement about the event will be available in early 2021.
Instead, this year’s event has been “re-visioned” as a virtual conference to focus on a critical issue impacting older adults during the pandemic: loneliness and social isolation. Age Positive remains committed to providing professionals and volunteers who develop and implement programs for older adults with tools and resources to help this important population stay connected to their families, friends and communities.
Age Positive 2020 (re)Vision will offer six virtual sessions, all designed to help us better understand the impact of social isolation and loneliness on older adults.
Registration Fee $10 (covers all six sessions). Stay tuned for a link coming soon. Click on image above for details.
