Topic: Navigating Solo Aging Safely & Well
Social change & life circumstances are producing a growing group of solo agers.  Nationally, 27% of older adults that live alone do not have children.  As of 2020, 16.6% of US adults over 55 do not have children with that number expected to grow. Additionally, since 1980, the number of unmarried adults has increased over a 50%. See Solo Fact Sheet attached.  The implications of these changes & what individuals & the community can do to improve the odds that solo aging can be done safely & will be addressed in this presentation. 
​

Learning Objectives: (webinar)
  1. Why a life plan is necessary. Every person’s life is filled with risks and strengths. It’s important for clients/people to assess both if they want a secure, long life.
  2. How to help clients organize for and research the available options that will address, improve, and rectify the risks of aging alone.
  3. The steps needed for clients to design and deploy a plan of action leading to a stronger and secure future.
