SUMMARY:The Montgomery County Commission on Aging invites you to our Annual Public Forum:  Social Connections for Older Adults: A Key to Aging Well
DESCRIPTION:The Forum’s purpose is to deepen and develop recommendations for program improvements and policy changes related to social connections. \n\n\n\n\nMontgomery 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. \nSOCIAL CONNECTIONS FOR OLDER ADULTS: A KEY TO AGING WELL \nStrong 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. \nThe Montgomery County Commission on Aging invites residents\, nonprofit leaders\, health\nprofessionals\, 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. \nJoin us to help shape policies and programs that ensure every older adult in Montgomery\nCounty can age with health\, purpose\, and dignity. \nQuestions about registration: Registration starts at 8:30 am. \nContact Tremayne Jones at…tremayne.jones@montgomerycountymd.gov or at\n(240) 777-1120 if accommodations are needed a week before the event.
