As the seasons change, we're reminded that life has seasons, too. Aging often brings transitions, from retirement and health changes to caregiving responsibilities and shifts in independence, that can stir unexpected feelings of loss. And not all grief looks the same.

In our latest video with Fabio, a Mental Health Specialist on our Insights team as he shares how grief can show up in everyday life. Fabio offers gentle reminders for navigating life's transitions with self-compassion.

Before September comes to a close, here's an important reminder: September is Falls Prevention Awareness Month.

According to the CDC, 1 in 10 falls results in an injury that causes an older adult to limit their activities for a day or more or seek medical attention. Taking steps to prevent falls can help older adults stay safe, healthy, and independent.

If you live in Los Angeles County, Independence at Home's Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) provides no-cost care management to help eligible older adults remain safely in their homes and communities.

Whether you're looking for fall prevention resources, caregiver support, health education, or programs that help older adults thrive, visit www.independenceathome.org to learn more about the services available.
