During this stay-at-home time, the Westlake Senior and Community Services Department and Far West Center are teaming up to offer Senior Strong by phone. This four-part series is designed to support the emotional health and well-being of individuals in the 60-plus community.

Groups of 12 are invited to discuss ways to cope with the anxiety, isolation and stress which many are facing during the COVID-19 situation.  

To take part in the program, all Westlake residents need is a phone and to follow these simple steps:

• Make a reservation with Westlake Senior and Community Services Center (space is limited to 12 patrons per session).
• Find a quiet, private place at home to join the phone program. Do not call while driving or in a public place.
• Dedicate one hour of time to participate.
• Read the information and materials for each session, which are sent in advance.
• Call a toll-free number at the designated date and time.
• Wait for the hosting program leader to begin when all participants have dialed in.

A list of upcoming Senior Strong phone sessions can be found on our Virtual Programs page. These sessions are presented by:  Bob Piovarchy, MA, LPC-S Far West Center. There is no charge for attending. For questions or to RSVP, please call 440-899-3544.
