Summer is almost here, and Camp Greentree is getting ready for its best year yet! Before we welcome kids back, we need your help to fill campers’ backpacks with everything they need to feel confident, supported, and ready for a summer of fun.

Many kids joining us have complex needs or have experienced homelessness. These backpacks mean they don’t have to worry about affording essentials for camp—everything will be right there waiting for them.

It takes $150 to fully stock each backpack, and every gift will help our campers start their summer strong! 🎒 https://ow.ly/pXZm50YXJNP

Join us for JSSA's Virtual Symposium for Mental Health and Aging Professionals

RESILIENCE & CARING FOR THE WHOLE PERSON – AGING AND END-OF-LIFE CARE

DATE: May 13, 2026
TIME: 10:00 am to 2:30 pm
COST: $90 for 4.5 Category 1 CE's
LOCATION: Virtual

AGENDA –
10:00 am to 11:30 am Welcome + Keynote by Lindsay Chura
11:30 am to 1:00 pm Four Workshops
1:00 pm to 2:00 pm Panel Discussion
2:00 pm to 2:30 pm Endnote

As individuals live longer and age with increasingly complex medical, psychological, and social needs, human service professionals are uniquely positioned to support resilience and dignity across the final chapters of life. Aging and end-of-life care extend beyond medical treatment—they require attention to emotional well-being, family systems, cultural values, spirituality, and the lived meaning of loss and transition.

This symposium is designed for licensed professionals in human service settings who work with older adults, caregivers, and families navigating serious illness, decline, and bereavement. Using a whole-person framework, the program will explore how to address grief, depression, demoralization, chronic illness, caregiver burden, ethical dilemmas, and existential distress while strengthening resilience at individual, family, and community levels.

Participants will engage in reflective, case-based discussions that integrate biopsychosocial-spiritual perspectives with practical tools for communication, boundary-setting, interdisciplinary collaboration, and self-care. Emphasis will also be placed on sustaining professional resilience when working in emotionally demanding end-of-life contexts.

Attendees will leave with strategies to support dignity, autonomy, and meaning for aging individuals while fostering resilience in families and in themselves as helping professionals.
