As we age, a strong support system becomes essential—but what happens when we are navigating this journey alone? Join us for an insightful discussion with Steve Gurney, Founder of Positive Aging Community, as he explores strategies for solo aging—a growing reality for many older adults.

Solo aging refers to seniors who find themselves without a partner, children, or close kin to rely on for support as they age. In the United States, approximately 27% of seniors fall into this category, facing unique challenges in planning for their future.

Steve Gurney will provide expert guidance on:

  • How to build a reliable support network
  • Resources available for solo agers
  • Proactive steps to ensure a secure and fulfilling aging journey

Whether you are a solo ager yourself, a caregiver, or a professional working with older adults, this discussion will offer valuable tools and strategies to navigate aging with confidence and peace of mind. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain knowledge and community connections that can make all the difference.
