The most common mental health concern for seniors is depression (1 in 5 older adults). In response, our townships have launched an evidence-based program to reduce depressive symptoms and improve quality of life in older adults: Program to Encourage Active, Rewarding Lives (PEARLS).
PEARLS provides confidential, high-quality, wellness care for those who want to improve the way they feel. Participants work with a coach at home on virtually (6-8 sessions) enhancing problem-solving skills, recognizing symptoms of depression, and increasing personal engagement.
PEARLS is free to residents of Oak Park and River Forest, age 60+. For more information, call Senior Services @ 708-383-8060.
