Healthy Aging Series

Spring 2023 Healthy Aging Series

Our Spring 2023 Healthy Aging Series focused specifically on mental health and accessing community services.  Mental health is a topic that is often left unaddressed in the Asian community.  Fountain of Life seeks to discuss and celebrate mental health because experiencing high quality mental health and wellness is linked to experiencing a high quality of life. In addition, seniors with limited English proficiency often lack awareness of or experience barriers in accessing community health services. Fountain of Life collaborated with the Johnson County Health Department, Johnson County Aging and Human Services Department, and Johnson County Mental Health Center to deliver linguistically accessible seminars regarding community health services. Because of these new partnerships, several key outreach materials were also translated into Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese. Please see our Resources Page.
