Clinical psychology graduate students Chantelle Castelino, Bailea Erb, and Simrat Tung, presented a terrific workshop on Navigating Relationships as We Age to a capacity crowd of participants in the Active Adults (50+) program at Forest Heights Public Library.
The presentation reviewed research and practical application for cultivating non-romantic relationships (friendships, family, community) and romantic relationships (dating in the older years) and identified the impact of loneliness on health and mental health. Practical tips to foster relationships were presented. The audience was highly engaged and attentive, with positive feedback.
These opportunities are a wonderful demonstration of psychology's ability to translate knowledge and research into practical and helpful information for everyone. We continue to be grateful for the strong community partnerships that allows for these opportunities.
