Event Details:

To address the isolation and feelings of despair felt by both frontline workers and older adults, those most vulnerable to experience depression, Acacia launched a series to nurture the physical, mental, and social-emotional wellness of essential workers and mature adults (ages 60+).  They engaged seniors enrolled in their Institute for the Puerto Rican/Hispanic Elderly (IPRHE) Senior Centers, the majority of whom were accustomed to attending in-person activities on a daily basis.  The Virtual Wellness Series consists of weekly workshops and events through a virtual platform, with topics including physical fitness, relaxation, mindfulness, music and dance, among others.
