**Senior Connection Circle**  
Wed, Aug 12 | 6:00PM - 7:00PM EDT  
[Update: 08/05]: This session was converted to a Member-led Group because the original host could no longer attend.

This group is for those 55 and over to meet and connect to discuss issues related to getting older and transitioning to retirement and aging. We can laugh, cry, and live our lives together as we connect and know we aren't alone in our journey. This meeting will occur once or more a week. We'll see how it goes.

### Understanding aging

Aging brings both challenges and wisdom, but the emotional shifts that come with getting older — such as loss of independence, health concerns, or social isolation — can feel heavy when faced alone. Older adults may struggle to find spaces where they feel heard and valued.

Peer support groups create a place to share stories, celebrate life experiences, and talk openly about the aging process. Through connection and mutual support, older individuals can feel a renewed sense of community, purpose, and belonging.

### How peer support helps with aging

Peer support helps with aging because health challenges can affect identity, routines, relationships, and emotional resilience. Being with peers can reduce isolation and offer grounded encouragement from people who understand the practical impact on everyday life.

### What aging groups often cover
- Aging and its impact on energy, routines, and quality of life
- Coping with uncertainty, fatigue, pain, or health-related stress
- Relationships, identity, and emotional resilience alongside health changes
- What support people are using to feel more grounded and less alone

### Who these groups may help
