We feel safe behind that mask\, or safe behind that new persona.” We can hide our facial expressions\, our feelings and even ourselves. For one night everyone sees that we are truly “OK.” Actually\, it is a wonderful holiday to enjoy ourselves. But not such an enjoyable lifestyle strategy. \nBut\, do you know what? It’s really “ OK not to be OK.” It’s OK to be our own authentic selves If you think about it\, lots of us wear masks to hide our fears or keep people from truly seeing us and all our flaws. You grab your mask out of the fear that you will be rejected\, so you don’t allow anyone to get close to you. You want everyone to think you’ve got it all together. You end up concentrating on the exterior more than the interior. On the surface\, you look great\, but you’d never want others to know of some of the struggles you experience\, so you reach for your mask. What if\, we never had to do this and it was just amazing to be ourselves anytime\, anywhere and all the time. \nJoin Dr. Jamie to learn how or when you find yourself hiding your true self? What would it look like for you to live openly? And\, what are the obstacles to taking off our mask? What are the benefits?\nYou don’t have to be somebody you are not. What if the key to truly enjoying life was to simply be yourself and not be concerned about what you perceive might be your flaws. We are all perfectly imperfect. You no longer have to be afraid of what others would think if they truly knew you. This means we no longer have to conceal our true identity from others. \nFear should never be a stop sign for your life. Don’t let your fears determine your destiny. Take a leap of faith that will enable you to overcome your fears. Join us in developing a plan to simply be yourself with everyone\, any place and especially with those you love. You can enjoy Halloween this month but for one day only.

SUMMARY:Aging in the 21st Century: What Caregivers Need to Know Now
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic revealed many problems in our healthcare system\, especially in long term care settings. Many seniors and their families consider the option of long-term care at some point\, but the pandemic has made us rethink those options. In addition to long-term care\, some are considering aging-in-place\, or living with relatives if they can. Our sessions will explore these options and will offer tips and resources that support healthy aging for all in a post-pandemic world. \nFamily dynamics: When is it absolutely necessary for a caregiver to place their loved one? What should seniors consider and explore before deciding to live with relatives? What should relatives know?
