WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Growing older brings with it a new host of things to learn.

Help and Hope for Aging is a one-day free workshop aimed to help seniors and/or their caregivers discover resources in the community.

Sessions include:

• Where to start when you have questions about your future and getting older from the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Central Wisconsin.
• When it’s time to move, learn the Art of Right Sized Living from an industry expert.
• Memory café can help keep your mind sharp with brain games, exercise and socialization.
• Learn to live well with a chronic condition.
• Hearing loss can have a big impact on your life, but it doesn’t have to with treatment and strategies.
• Don’t just react to aging concerns; be proactive.
• Some seniors find purpose and meaning throughout life by staying active, through social interactions, volunteering and more. Hear about vibrant lifestyles from a senior panel.
