Meeting Late-In-Life Challenges With Peer Counseling

Wikimedia/Garry Knight

Change is constant in life, but it can have a greater impact in later years. 

Aging and retirement and mortality are facts of life, but not always welcome ones. 

A program called "Age Wise Age Well," a program of the Community Volunteer Network in Jackson County, is designed to help people cope with the changes. 

AWAW provides peer counseling to people over the age of 55. 

The co-director and assessment officer join us with details.   

There is no web site for AWAW, but you can call the office at 541-646-3402.
