SUMMARY:Navigating Grief and Finding Healing: Understanding Loss in Later Life
DESCRIPTION:While mental health is a priority across all age groups\, older adults face unique challenges that are often underserved.

Smith Life Communities has partnered with Sailor Health to launch a four-part virtual series: Mental Health in Older Adults. Please join me for our first session: \n\nNavigating Grief and Finding Healing: Understanding Loss in Later Life \n\n\nDate: Wednesday\, January 22\nTime: 2-3:30 p.m.\nLocation: Virtual (Link provided upon registration)\nCE Credit: 1.5 CE hours for Social Workers\n\nRegister Here for the Virtual Session. \n
