Derby Senior Citizen CenterDerby, CT
Thursday, May 21  •  1 PM - 2 PM
Overview

Learn how medications affect balance, energy, and safety—and simple ways to stay independent, prevent falls, and manage daily health.

Let’s get togetherStrong in Body, Steady in Spirit

Join our workshop to learn how common medications can influence balance, energy, thinking, digestion, and overall safety—and how these changes can directly affect independence and quality of life. You’ll learn to recognize medication-related changes that interfere with everyday activities, reduce fall risk and functional decline, and use practical routines and timing strategies to support safe medication use. We also focus on building confidence in communicating with healthcare providers about function-based concerns, so you can advocate more effectively for yourself or a loved one. This program helps you understand how medications impact daily function—not just symptoms or diagnoses—supporting healthy aging, independence, and informed self-advocacy through both occupational therapy and naturopathic perspectives.
