What does it mean to age in a healthy way? Join us as experts from the Michigan Medicine Department of Psychiatry discuss what healthy aging really means and what it can look like in real life. They will break down the unique concerns older adults face as they age, including some of the barriers—expected and unexpected—that can change how we move through the world. Our speakers will share what we know about dementia prevention, as well as how to care for those in our lives already experiencing dementia. They will share resources all of us can use as we age and as we care for the older adults around us who need extra support.

Whether you are caring for an aging relative or simply want to better understand how to care for yourself as you grow older, this webinar will provide helpful education, resources, and tips you can integrate into your daily life. The event will include a Q&A with our experts, so please bring along your questions about aging and caregiving.
