Healthy Lives Community Groups

Healthy Lives Community Groups are held throughout Philadelphia for older adults living independently in neighborhoods to create and sustain social connections.

A group of older women are gathered for a Healthy Lives Group at Southwest Senior Center, talking and laughing together.

There are ongoing meetings where participants share common challenges, discuss coping tools, provide emotional support, and exchange information and resources. Healthy Lives workshops on topics such as Covid-19, stress management, and self-care for older adults offer additional education and resources on a regular basis. The social connections gained are proven to reduce or stabilize depression, increase coping skills, and promote independence.
