Boston Seniority Magazine
We've been publishing Boston Seniority magazine for more than 40 years. We cover topics of interest to older Bostonians. These include news, feature stories, resources, and upcoming events.
FROM THIS ISSUE:
"Can you believe it’s already May?
As we start to get back outdoors and into the fresh air and sunshine, let’s also note that May is National Mental Health Awareness month. It’s a time to lessen stigma and extend support for the wellbeing of individuals and families affected by mental illness.
May is also Older Americans Month, and this year’s theme is “Powered by Connection,” noting the importance of staying connected to family, friends, and neighbors – whether in-person, virtually, or by phone. Studies show that strong social connections increase overall wellbeing and even health.
Inside this issue, we’ll learn about depression and anxiety and with that, also the importance of socializing in community as one way to combat them. We’ll also share benefits and savings opportunities for older adults, including our increased Property Tax Work-Off Program and Water and Sewer Discounts.
I look forward to seeing you at the Mayor’s Coffee Hours across our neighborhoods, as well as Open Streets, starting soon."
Sincerely,
Michelle Wu
Mayor of Boston
