Staying social and helping others is a proven way to slow the aging process. This Washington Post article sums it up pretty well. Join one of our groups to stay engaged!

"Researchers analyzing blood markers have recently discovered that volunteering appears to slow the aging process in seniors — a felicitous finding that adds to voluminous evidence that performing community service tends to improve things like mood and heart health, particularly for those of retirement age."

New research shows that you can lengthen your own life by improving someone else’s.

💬 Loneliness isn’t just a feeling — it’s a health issue.

As we age, staying socially connected plays a powerful role in our physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. Recent research shows that meaningful group activities can improve quality of life, reduce isolation, and even support independence in older adults.

That’s why we created Create & Connect — a welcoming group designed to foster creativity, conversation, and real human connection.

✨ New blog post!

Parkinson’s doesn’t just affect movement — it can quietly shrink social circles, confidence in conversation, and feelings of connection. New research highlights just how essential social connection is for quality of life in Parkinson’s disease — and why group-based programs make such a powerful difference.

In our latest blog, we explore:
✨ how Parkinson’s changes social connection
✨ why communication challenges can lead to isolation
✨ how group speech therapy acts as a form of social prescribing
✨ and why ongoing connection after therapy matters

This is exactly why we offer a free weekly SPEAK OUT!® group for program graduates — so no one is practicing alone, and everyone has accountability, community, and support.
