For immediate release:
From Senior New Ways Executive Director, Judith Pruess-Mellow.
Senior New Ways Receives National and Regional Recognition
for Elder Programs
Senior New Ways Inc., a non-profit outreach organization headed by Dr. with
seniors and their families by the Princeton Theological Seminary under its
Older Adult Ministry Aging Initiative. In a directory soon to be available online
at www.ptsem.edu/Academics/departments/PT/, Senior New Ways (SNW) is
acknowledged for its excellent offering of group programs that enhance the
well-being of seniors throughout northern California.
The Center for Older Adult Ministry of the United Methodist Church,
headquartered in Nashville TN, recently published an article on the SNW’s
“Coming Fully Alive as You Age” program, and awarded grants to multiple
agencies in northern California that are SNW partners. According to Dr.
Pruess-Mellow, “our culture places so much emphasis on the physical,
people often become despondent as they age, not realizing that they can
continue to grow in mind and spirit. One way of helping elders continue to
develop is to bring them together in group programs to learn new information
about healthy aging and apply it to their lives. This is the passion of Senior
New Ways.”
The US government has designated May as Older Americans Month.
Other Senior New Ways’ programs provide brain fitness, whole health
support groups, children/caregivers of elders support groups, and memoir
writing.
