Description

In honour of Seniors Week, this episode shines a light on something close to the heart of Wangaratta — social connection. Kylie chats with Bek Nash-Webster from the Grit and Resilience Program about why staying connected matters for our mental and physical wellbeing as we age, and the many ways older adults in our community can build and maintain meaningful connections.
