What presentations are available?
Social Security
- Understanding Social Security: Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered who is eligible for Social Security payments? Join AARP’s free Understanding Social Security workshop. This workshop focuses on building a basic understanding of Social Security, exploring how claiming decisions affect payments and identifying resources that can help you along the way. It can help you build confidence in making the right decisions for your personal situation. Duration: 60 minutes
Fighting Fraud
- Fraud Watch Basics: Have you ever been approached with a fraudulent offer or been a victim of identity theft? The AARP Fraud Watch Network is working to empower you in the fight, with proven resources and tools to help you spot and avoid identity theft and fraud. By taking a few practical steps, you have the power to fight back against fraud. This session will arm you with the latest data on fraud trends and provide tips and resources to protect yourself and your family. Duration: 60 minutes
Brain Health
- Six Pillars of Brain Health: It’s never too late to focus on your brain health! In this interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of brain health, activities that support brain health, and hopefully be inspired by others. This session is a good overview for anyone interested in learning more about brain health and will provide you with information on the latest research on brain health, lifestyle suggestions, and resources to learn more. Duration: 60 minutes
HomeFit
- Making Home Safe and Livable for All: AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair. That’s where AARP HomeFit comes in. Based on the free AARP HomeFit Guide, this presentation can help individuals and families make their current or future residence — or that of a loved one — their “lifelong home.” Duration: 60 minutes
Caregiving
- Prepare to Care: No matter where you are in the journey of family caregiving – just beginning to anticipate a need, helping to coordinate a big move, or taking care of a family member full-time – having a good framework to help guide both you and your loved one will make the process easier. During this session, we will share a framework to help you make plans to care for friends, family members, or loved ones. You will have the opportunity to connect with other family caregivers, exchange tips and advice, and learn about resources available to you and your loved ones. Duration: 60 minutes
Driver Safety
- We Need to Talk: Accidents involving older drivers highlight the issue of driving safety among older adults. While most older adults are safe drivers, medical conditions, medication use, and reduced physical function can increase accident risks. This facilitated discussion helps families discuss driving safety with older adults, based on surveys of drivers over 50, focus groups with older adults who have modified their driving, and interviews with family caregivers of people with dementia. Duration: 60 minutes
