Drawing on expertise from CatholicCare Sydney, Catholic Healthcare, and Grief Care we have brought together a team of clinical experts and professionals in the field of ageing to create Ageing Well.
Designed to help you navigate some of the issues around ageing, provide practical advice and connect you to the services you need most, this five-part masterclass series covers everything from staying connected to community, diet and exercise; to why mental health matters as we age.
