bOlder Together

bOlder Together is our free, year-long, intergenerational series of monthly skill-building workshops and community social events for LGBTQ2S folks. We successfully launched our program on April 30 with the first workshop Herbalism 101. Thank you to our participants for making this event a success.

bOlder Together's aim is for participants to feel informed, prepared, and supported to make meaningful changes in their lives around maintaining and improving mental health.

Eight hands-on workshops will be facilitated by community partners working in creative and traditional ways to promote wellness, prevention strategies, resource-sharing, and knowledge-building.
Four social events will feature delicious and healthy community meals provided by FABARNAK Community Café and Catering, as well as dancing, interactive art experiences, and film screenings.

If you want to know more or want to get involved, contact Jo at JJefferson@The519.org or click here for more information.

Follow us at Eventbrite or Facebook to get updates about our upcoming bOlder Together events.
