DOROT: Solo Aging: Staying Connected, Fighting Loneliness
The program will focus on those who are older, child-free, and living independently. In our humanity, we thrive on human connection and cooperation. When we are not fed and watered through social connections, we are diminished. The program will focus on coping strategies for living well with solo aging, with particular focus on the problems manifest for men.
