Free depression screenings offered to Hanover Township older adults
Updated 5/3/2021 3:25 PM
In celebration of Older Adult Mental Health Awareness Day, the Hanover Township Department of Aging Services will be holding free, in-person depression screenings on May 6 for residents 55 years and older at the Township Senior Center (240 S. IL Route 59, Bartlett). Beginning at 1PM, Township clinicians will evaluate seniors and provide referrals to local agencies or schedule in-house therapy through the Township program, Communities Helping Others Preserve Everyday (C-HOPE) at the senior center. Seniors who complete a screening will receive a free stress relief kit.
C-HOPE is provided to residents at no cost, regardless of insurance coverage.
Gardening has grown big time in the past year as the pandemic both forced people to spend more time at home and less time in stores. It offers a safe way for families to enjoy the outdoors, while producing their own fresh, nutritious fruits and vegetables, those getting their hands dirty say.
The master gardeners who provide free advice through the Penn State Agricultural Extension Service at Bucks County field many questions even as they too, work from home.
They can give advice about plants and ways to protect gardens and trees from unwanted pests, including the dreaded spotted lanternflys and periodical cicadas, expected to make their appearance locally in the next few weeks after 17 years in hibernation.
