News from the Silver Threads Seniors Club
June is Seniors Month and the Elder Abuse Ontario will be holding sessions on Educating Seniors on this subject, so that we can recognize the signs. INR is a provincial elder abuse initiative developed to change social norms, by teaching bystanders what to do. Bystanders are those neighbours, friends and family members who are most likely to see warning signs in someone they know but are unsure of how to respond. The INR training helps bystanders overcome their fear of getting involved by showing them what to say to an older adult they suspect is experiencing abuse and how to be supportive without the fear of overcommitting themselves.

Wednesday, July 11, at 1 p.m., Corissia Levair (RN) and Donna stokell, certified aromatherapist, MCMA will show you how one economical drop of clinical grade essentail oil can assistance with headaches, heartburn, ease arthritic joints and so much more.
