Seminars at Hadley Presents:
Virtual Support Groups: An Accessible Community for Older Adults
Date: Thursday, August 18, 2016
Time: 1:00 PM CDT; 18:00 GMT

Senior centers offer a range of wonderful opportunities for older adults.  For seniors with low vision or other impairments, these valuable resources may be difficult to access. Lack of transportation or health concerns can make travel to a senior center challenging. Now, new programs around the country are making senior centers available to all older adults by establishing virtual communities where members can participate in their own homes using a telephone or other simple technology.

Please join Low Vision Focus @ Hadley as Amber Carroll, Director of Senior Center Without Walls, discusses the diverse and exciting programming available from virtual senior centers.

Ed Haines, Hadley Instructor and member of the Seminars at Hadley team, will moderate this 60-minute presentation. A question and answer session will be included as part of the seminar. This seminar is an audio-only seminar, and space is limited. Please register only if you know you are available to attend so that others are not closed out. Register now for Virtual Support Groups <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=10207074&msgid=808497&act=GE9S&c=225701&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fhadley.edu%2FSeminarDetails.asp%3Fsid%3D332> .
