Many LGBT seniors live alone and have no close family members or loved ones to rely on in times of need. Taking care of ourselves as we grow older means that we have to be both more independent and interdependent. This conversation will focus on how LGBT seniors can support themselves in living healthy, active, fulfilling lives. A panel of experts will offer guidance on how to take care of our most basic needs— physical, mental, emotional and social — by discovering and drawing upon our own inner strengths and resources. Checklists of suggested self-care activities and external resources will be provided, and participants will have a chance to share their ideas and personal experiences with the whole group.
