When it comes to getting the help we need to age well, we have more strengths than we realize – including the network of supportive relationships and individual and community resources that is unique to each of us. Eco-mapping helps us uncover and celebrate the positive connections we already have and identify potential new partners for our continued growth and well-being. This hands-on workshop will give you the opportunity to create your own eco-map with the help of professionals who are trained in the process, as well as brainstorm ways to enlarge your supportive circle. We believe participants will especially benefit from attending in person, but we are pleased to offer a Zoom option as well!
