Healthy Ageing newsletter now available

Older residents in Strathbogie Shire will find resources and tips to stay socially connected during the COVID-19 pandemic in issue two of the Healthy Ageing newsletter.

The October 2020 issue of Healthy Ageing: Staying Connected during COVID-19 is the second of six instalments to be published until February 2021.

Strathbogie Shire Chief Executive Officer Julie Salomon said this issue encourages residents to reach out for support if they are feeling isolated; provides tips to get active; a step-by-step guide to joining a Zoom meeting; and information about The Strathbogie Stories website and free postcard series.

“The monthly newsletter aims to provide information about healthy ageing and COVID-19 resources, ideas for staying socially connected, physically and mentally healthy, and entertained as our community navigates the changing restrictions of the pandemic,” Ms Salomon said.

“There are also some puzzles such as crosswords and Sudokus to enjoy as an at-home activity.”

Free hard copies of the newsletter are available at participating supermarkets, post offices, library branches, pharmacies, medical centres, community houses and op-shops throughout the shire.

Issues one and two of the publication can also be downloaded and printed at https://www.strathbogie.vic.gov.au/community/seniors-active-ageing
