Aging brings many joys – more time with family and freedom in retirement – but our older years can also bring difficult life transitions, including the loss of loved ones and stress from age-related health concerns.
Kossuth Regional Health Center’s Senior Life Solutions is an intensive outpatient group therapy program designed to meet the unique needs of individuals, typically 65 and older, experiencing depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges often associated with aging. Call us today at 515.295.4527 to learn more about how our program works.
