Adult Mental Health series continues at Hudson Library
Hudson Library, in partnership with VAYA Health, is hosting an educational series on adult mental health, held on the second Tuesday of each month. This series is intended especially for older adults, but may be of interest to any adult. The December 13 program, held at 2 PM, is titled Enhancing Mental Health with Alternative Treatments: Animal Assisted Therapy & Laughter.
This program is intended for both care providers and recipients. It looks at alternative treatments and practices and their impact on mental health. Many of the “outside of the box” interventions can be incorporated into the lives of people managing a mental illness and/or their caregivers to help create balance, stability and a reduction in stress.
