Healthy Lives Community Groups
Healthy Lives Community Groups are held throughout Philadelphia for older adults living independently in neighborhoods to create and sustain social connections.
There are ongoing meetings where participants share common challenges, discuss coping tools, provide emotional support, and exchange information and resources. Healthy Lives workshops on topics such as Covid-19, stress management, and self-care for older adults offer additional education and resources on a regular basis. The social connections gained are proven to reduce or stabilize depression, increase coping skills, and promote independence.
