Join AARP Long Island and the Association of Mental Health & Wellness

Are you over the age of 50? Many mental health issues can sneak up on you! Approximately 20% of the over 50 population might experience a mental health issue, primarily anxiety and depression.  The good news is that living a balanced lifestyle can help avert some mental health conditions. When depression and anxiety are caught early and treated promptly, you can prevent complications that are more serious in the future.

Please join AARP Long Island and the Association of Mental Health & Wellness to learn more about the actions you can take now to live a healthier life for good. EMPOWER HALF-HOURS is a series of FREE #WellnessWednesdays virtual Zoom events, held Wednesdays at 11:30 AM throughout May, June, September, and November 2022.  

Advanced registration is required, and registrants will be sent details before the date of the program. You do not have to be an AARP member to register. You can register for one or all of our classes!
