Acton COA Presents: Aging Alone: A Sexual Wellness Perspective with Dr. Jane Fleishman

Sep 25 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Aging provides us with significant challenges and aging alone can lead to loneliness and social isolation. Former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called social isolation a public health crisis in need of the same investments in research as other public health challenges.

From a sexual wellness perspective, Dr. Jane Fleishman will offer up-to-date research, recommendations, and tips for aging alone. Join us for a thought-provoking, compassionate, and positive perspective on aging alone. Jane Fleishman, PhD, MEd, MS, is an educator, writer, researcher, and author of The Stonewall Generation: LGBTQ Elders on Sex, Activism, and Aging. She is on a mission to promote the sexual wellness in older adults and co-hosts an award-winning podcast on sex and aging, Our Better HalfHer TEDx talk, Is It OK for Grandma to Have Sex? has reached over 100,000 viewers.
