SHARE ON:
Family and Community Support Services Lloydminster has re-released a series supporting longevity and mental health for seniors.
The five-part web series, hosted by Gary Anaka, focuses on providing mental health strategies for seniors and their caregivers, especially as they live through challenging times. It hopes to help them boost mental health and connect memory health and happiness.
Manager of Social Programs and Services Patrick Lancaster says they chose to bring back the series because of popular demand.
“We wanted to bring Gary Anaka’s content back to Lloydminster because we had a good response to his last session. A lot of seniors commented that they enjoyed it and wanted the opportunity for those who missed it to take it in. As well, it serves as a refresher. If you’ve seen it before, it’s a great reminder of some strategies for good mental health.”
