The Forum’s purpose is to deepen and develop recommendations for program improvements and policy changes related to social connections.
Montgomery County Commission on Aging invites you to join a Public Forum at the Silver Spring Civic Center, Silver Spring, Maryland. The Public Forum will focus on the importance of social connections for aging well.
SOCIAL CONNECTIONS FOR OLDER ADULTS: A KEY TO AGING WELL
Strong social connections are among the most powerful predictors of living longer and living better. Meaningful relationships improve mental, emotional, and physical well-being while reducing the harmful effects of loneliness and chronic stress. When people feel seen, valued, and needed, they are more likely to thrive throughout the lifespan.
The Montgomery County Commission on Aging invites residents, nonprofit leaders, health
professionals, and community partners to a community forum focused on strengthening social connectedness in Montgomery County. Together, participants will explore the evidence linking connection and longevity and identify practical strategies to reduce isolation, foster belonging, and support healthy aging to 100.
Join us to help shape policies and programs that ensure every older adult in Montgomery
County can age with health, purpose, and dignity.
Questions about registration: Registration starts at 8:30 am.
