Experience Engaged Friend Andrew Steward, PhD candidate in social work at DU, stops by Venerable Voices to discuss his research findings on the benefits of volunteering for older adults, specifically in them finding renewed purpose and value. This is the first in a multi-part series around collective mental wellness in our 50+ community. It is important here to note that guests appearing on this podcast series around mental health and wellness are not experts or licensed practitioners in the areas of mental health, but are connected to mental health programs, research, or legislation respectively. It is through their journeys, that they will share observations with us on ways in which we might approach improving our well being. If you are struggling with mental wellness issues, please know there are resources available: the following is a 24/7, 365-day-a-year national help line, which serves as a referral and information service: 1-800-662-HELP (4357). It is part of SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration).
