✨Senior Sunday Spotlight✨

Veterans Day offers an opportunity to honor the service, sacrifice, and resilience of veterans in our community.
For older adult veterans, emotional health may be shaped by military service, life transitions, grief, chronic health concerns, retirement, isolation, or changes in independence. Some may carry experiences they have spoken about often, while others may have kept difficult memories private for many years.
A caring check-in can make a difference. You might ask, “How have you been feeling lately?” or “Is there anything weighing on you that you would like to talk about?” Listening with patience and respect can help an older veteran feel seen and supported.

Arkansas Valley Regional Medical Center’s Senior Life Solutions provides outpatient mental health services for older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, and other emotional or behavioral health concerns. Services include group therapy, individual therapy, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management.
📞 Call (719) 383-6042 or visit https://www.avrmc.org/SeniorLifeSolutions to learn more.
