ABOUT AGING ALONE TOGETHER®

This six-week workshop series provides solo agers with the tools, strategies, and support to age successfully and build social connections. The curriculum involves topic-specific presentations, coaching, and guidance on critical decision-making, along with conversation, personalized check-ins, and assignments.
