The Staying Connected “classes” provide physical activities, educational programs and intellectual stimulation. Our weekly three-hour groups consist of an exercise program to promote strength and a sense of well-being, a brown bag lunch that fosters a social setting to build peer relationships, and a social group session that focuses on discussions tailored to specific interests and supportive interaction. Strong bonds form among those who attend.
