We know how important social connection is to thriving as we age. Consider joining this important session to learn more about recently developed clinical guidelines to address social isolation.

You can feel lonely in a crowd. You can feel invisible in a waiting room.

*Only one week away!*

Social isolation and loneliness aren’t just personal, they’re real public health challenges.

On Sept 18, 2025, join us for a unique symposium that shares new clinical guidance, and explores how we prepare the next generation of professionals to recognize and respond to SIL among older adults.

Reading benefits our mental health, brain health, and social connectivity! This new research certainly aligns with our THRIVE Approach to Wellbeing.
The short video explaining the value of reading is well worth the watch.

What a fascinating study!

For those of us who are avid readers of fiction, we have another great reason for sneaking in another chapter throughout the day...it's good for our mental, brain and social health.

According to The Queen's Reading Room study, "Not only is reading a magical, joyous experience, it turns out that it’s also good for our health!"

This is good advice for those of us here on the East Coast as well. Connect with your neighbours and friends.

Parts of Central Canada are experiencing an extreme heat event. Extreme heat can have a negative impact on our physical and mental health.

If you can, seek cool locations, drink lots of water and check in on your older relatives and neighbours who may be more susceptible to the heat. Let's look out for one another.
