We live in a chemical-laden world, and these chemicals are literally making us sick!  Essential oils have been used for thousands of years around the world to keep people healthy. 

Learn simple ways to help live a healthier lifestyle for all ages, how to destress your mind, build your immune system, and what harmful toxins could be in your products and what to do about it. 

On Tuesday, April 5, at 1 p.m., join us to hear about the Dangers of Prescription Drug Abuse Among Older Adults.  Misuse of drugs, alcohol and prescription drugs is on the rise in the older adult population. 

In this workshop, we will utilize a screening tool for identifying abuse of substances, questions to ask prescribers regarding medication, common misconceptions about medications and community resources to help with misuse of medication.  The presenter is Laura Gardner, instructor at Lock Haven University. 

The Life-Course of the Baby Boom Generation will be presented by Dr. Jamie Foor, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Lock Haven University on Tuesday, April 19, 2022, at 1 p.m.  The Baby Boomers are one of the most influential generational cohorts in modern U.S. history. 

This generation occurred due to a unique set of circumstances in U.S. history.  The Baby Boomers in turn, influenced and continue to influence the society they live in.  We will explore how the Baby Boom occurred and the influential changes the Boomers made to American society. 

We will also consider how the development of generational cohorts before and after the Baby Boomers are influenced by the historical periods they live in.
