Community Conversations: Tough Talks

The Aging and Disability Resource Center of Southwest Wisconsin will be hosting a monthly virtual presentation/discussion tackling topics to help learn how to work on many tasks that include legal issues, financial issues, health issues, mental health issues and emotional issues; sometimes all of those at once.
Living with a disability, living in an aging body, living with mental health struggles: all require Tough Talks. Tough Talks are not easy, but they are necessary.

Avoiding Falls Means Honest Talk and New Skills for Older Adults

Falls may not seem an obvious topic for a casual gathering of active older adults. But mention the subject, and it quickly takes center stage. For one person, it’s the story of an older relative whose fear of falling keeps them homebound. For another, it’s their worry about a spouse who won’t admit that falling has become a problem. No matter the variety of personal experiences, however, everyone will agree: older adults don’t want to become a fall-injury statistic.
