Learn how to build and maintain meaningful friendships in this 3-part winter series exploring the impacts of social isolation on health. Snacks for all! Doors open at 2:30pm Event begins at 3pm.

Social isolation affects the physical and emotional health of people of all ages. It can affect one's health in a myriad of ways. Developing and keeping friends is the focus of a 3 part series offered by the Friends of the Aptos Library this Winter. 

January 10--The first workshop will be presented by Aptos' own Dr. Maureen Cahill, who will lead a discussion of the impact of social isolation on one's physical health.

February 7—The second will be led by 2nd District Supervisor Kim DeSerpa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who has had vast experience with the impact of social isolation on emotional health.

March 7--Rounding out the series will be a lively discussion led by transformational coach Kara Hopkins on forging friendships as adults, a skill we can all use.

Join us, you will learn a lot and make new friends!
