HOLIDAY BLUES WORKSHOP
The holidays can be a tough time for some, and the City's Senior Program is offering a workshop on Monday, December 8th, for seniors who seek tips on coping with some of the anxiety and even depression that can come around this time of year. The City website had this information:
The City of Claremont Senior Program, in partnership with the University of La Verne Doctoral Program in Clinical-Community Psychology, is pleased to announce a workshop, "Holiday Blues: A Special Workshop Exploring Mental Health Issues Facing Seniors During the Holiday Season." The workshop is scheduled for Monday, December 8, 2008, and will address such topics of interest as, the complexity of emotions around the holidays, reasons for holiday depression and anxiety, and ways of coping with holiday season blues. The objective of the workshop is to promote awareness of the mental health challenges many seniors face around the holiday season and to provide coping techniques to help lessen symptoms of depression and anxiety.
The event will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Joslyn Center, in the Weinberger Wing, located at 660 N. Mountain Avenue. University of La Verne Counseling Center staff will conduct the workshop. The workshop flows out of the unique partnership established over the past year between the Claremont Senior Program and the University of La Verne, whose primary goal is to provide free counseling services to Claremont seniors.
This program is free and open to people of all ages. For more information or to RSVP, please call (909) 399-5488.
