SANTA MONICA—The city of Santa Monica announced that there will be a free three-part workshop series titled “Wellbeing: A Journey Into Aging.” The seminar is presented by The Older Adult Task Force (OATF), the City of Santa Monica Commission for the Senior Community and the Santa Monica Public Library.
Residents in Santa Monica have shown results of general satisfaction in wellbeing as demonstrated by the city’s Wellbeing Index. There has been a disconnect within the community and a struggle with work life balance, which is a factor in wellbeing.
This series will encompass all resources available for Santa Monica’s older residents to use to encourage better wellbeing.
Each stand-alone event will hold two workshops that will focus on topics relating to the overall wellbeing of mind and body with resource tables enlisting information regarding local events, activities and community organizations designed for bringing togetherness within the community.
