The series kicks off at the Atlanta Community House with Bruce Boeck,
a practicing counselor for over 30 years, who will speak on "Renewed
Hope: When Getting Old Gets You Down." Boeck has worked extensively
with children, adolescents, adults and seniors, as well as couples
and families. A longtime resident of Normal, he is currently the
program director of a counseling program for seniors, "Renewed
Hope," based at the Hopedale Medical Complex. Boeck will discuss the
natural mood changes that occur with aging, how depression is
different for seniors than for younger people and how to
differentiate depression from dementia. The event will begin with a
light breakfast at 8:30 a.m., followed by the presentation from 9 to
10. On Nov. 13, the series continues with "That Naughty
Nutrition," with dietitian Karen Watt, who will cook up some
delicious and healthy snacks that meet the changing dietary needs of
seniors.
