Free Healthy Aging Presentation: Mental Fitness. . . Mind, Body, & Spirit
June 1 (Session presented twice.)
1:00pm – 2:30pm
5:30pm – 7:00pm
at Crestwood Community League Hall (14325 - 96 Ave.)
There are many new experiences to look forward to as we age. We all experience aging differently and at our own rate, which may evoke a range of emotions. Some of the emotions may include feelings of excitement, happiness, depression, anxiety, and stress. Although these are normal emotions, when might depression, anxiety and stress become problematic?
Since we cannot stop getting older, what steps might we take to be healthier? What are the best ways we can ward off the negative effects of aging to protect our physical and mental health? Come and learn about “mindful aging” and discuss what factors may protect or hinder “mindful aging” in your life.
Presenter: Laurie Young, Prevention and Health Promotion, Alberta Health Services
This presentation is free and open to the general public of all ages, but we would appreciate it if you could register so we can get an idea of the numbers for set up and refreshments.

Love this! #AgeIsJustANumber #YearsAhead
Jumping head first from high altitudes is 90-year old Helmut Wirz's passion. The retired pharmacist discovered #bungeejumping at the age of 75.
"When I’m st...anding up there, I feel completely calm“, he says, despite the fact that he is only secured by a rubber - band fixed to his legs. Helmut held the record as the oldest bungee jumper in the world for many years and is not planning to switch to playing chess or bowling in the #YearsAhead.
