A personal growth series for seniors. “A Time For Me” works towards building awareness, strengths and promoting healthy aging, while “Senior Peer Helper Training” builds on strengths identified in “A Time for Me” so that participants are able to assist others needing help with issues related to aging.

It is designed for people over 55 years of age and deals with many myths about aging. Weekly sessions run for eight weeks. Cost of the program is $30/person. Topics of discussion will include building on personal strengths, improving listening skills, enriching relationships, making new friends, benefiting from life experiences and making new starts following significant experiences.
