Our mixed Seniors Tea & Tales support group is all about coming together for tea or coffee (and snacks!) to share our experiences and discuss a variety of topics about mental health including grief and loss, coping with aging, and mood disorders, in a confidential and inclusive space. Members of this group receive peer support from other seniors who are experiencing similar struggles.
