DESCRIPTION:RELIEVING SOCIAL ISOLATION AMONG SENIORS\n\nWhen: Wednesday, April 8, 2020 
 @ noon PT\n\nWhere: Live stream online (FREE, register below)\n\nThrough 
 the adept facilitation of journalist Katie Hafner, the audience will hear 
 directly from four expert panelists from four key service organizations 
 that are helping to connect older adults at risk of social isolation. 
 \n\nVillage organizations, assisted living communities, phone line support 
 services and senior centers are facing new challenges to support and 
 connect at-risk older adults and disabled people in this time of social 
 distancing and self-quarantine. Each of the four types of organizations is 
 different. Learning how all four are working from different angles to meet 
 the challenge of social isolation posed by this epidemic will give a sense 
 of what is possible—and hopefully will generate ideas to open even more 
 avenues for socialization. \n\nTo bring it all together, Commonwealth Club 
 president and CEO Dr. Gloria Duffy will give us her family's firsthand 
 perspective of living with her aging mother who suddenly finds herself 
 separated from the groups and activities that would routinely bring 
 connection and variety to her life.\n\nPANELISTS:\n\nPatrick Arbore\nEd.D., 
 Director and Founder, Elderly Suicide Prevention and Grief Related Services 
 at Institute on Aging and the Friendship Line\n\nJohn Blazek, M.S.,
