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
January 22 – Force of Habit
Happy New Year! Each January, many people start thinking about breaking and building habits. How can we make our internal autopilot work for us instead of against us? This conversation is an opportunity to begin exploring what you want and developing a plan to get there. Our special guest presenter for this session is Mayo Clinic and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Hartley Newell-Acero! Register here!
February 28 – 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!
