Building Community Among Older Adults

As we age, life often brings more free time — but time alone doesn’t create connection. Research consistently shows that one of the biggest predictors of health, happiness, and longevity for older adults isn’t diet or exercise alone… it’s the strength and intentionality of our social relationships. Join us for an engaging, research-backed conversation on how to build real, lasting communities as we age. We’ll dig into:

Why social connection is directly linked to cognitive health, emotional wellbeing, and even lifespan
Common reasons friendships and social circles shrink for older adults — and how to counteract them
Practical, evidence-based strategies for meeting new people and deepening existing relationships
How to be intentional about building the community you want in this stage of life
