Care Partners and Cook County Higher Education are pleased to present a Lunch & Learn series designed to support aging well in Cook County! Presented on the fourth Wednesday of the month from noon to 1pm at Cook County Higher Education, these free Lunch & Learn classes feature speakers from area organizations like Age-Friendly Cook County, AARP, North Shore Health, The MN Aging Eyes Initiative, and more!
For many years Care Partners has provided support and companionship along the journey of aging in Cook County. With this initiative, we hope to help our friends and neighbors proactively address the joys and challenges of growing older with dignity, purpose – and perhaps a gentle dose of humor and camaraderie besides!
Join us online OR in person at Cook County Higher Education! Thanks to the generosity of individual donors and granting organizations, a light lunch is provided free of charge for those who are able to attend in person.
Upcoming Lunch & Learn Classes
February 26 – Dementia Friends
Dementia Friends is the biggest ever initiative to change people’s perceptions of dementia, and it aims to transform the way we think, talk and act about the disease. In this session, Care Partners Executive Director Julie Wilson will help us learn about dementia and the small ways we can help. From telling friends about the program to visiting someone you know living with dementia, every action counts! Join us and become a Dementia Friend! Register here!
March 26 – Lunch & Learn: A Cook County Aging Roundtable
In March our special guest will be…you!! Come and share insights and questions about aging in Cook County and ideas for Lunch & Learn topics you’d love to see. This will be a casual round-table conversation – feel free to speak up if you’d like, or just listen in to what your friends and neighbors think about growing older in our corner of the world. All ages are welcome!!!! We won’t have Zoom capability for this session, so we will be in-person only at Cook County Higher Ed. Registration coming soon!
