Cookbooks are so much more than a collection of recipes. They can be part autobiography, part memoir and all legacy - a means of capturing and communicating thoughts, ideals, values - the things that make up our lives. SCOSA is looking for a group of older adults that would like to participate in a cookbook project, sharing ideas and developing a collaborative work that can be published and used as a fundraising tool for SCOSA so that we can continue to bring you this type of educational programming. Each participant will “share a story” and recipes and receive a copy of the published cookbook. If you are interested in working on this project please complete the enclosed registration form and you will be contacted with details. (Registration required) |

This Program is designed to address three barriers toward the treatment of depression in older adults: 1) lack of education about depression, 2) limited access to information about mental health providers who take Medicare patients and 3) challenges associated with depressed individuals' willingness to follow through with referrals. The Depression Screening Program will address these barriers by organizing events in the community that target these high-risk groups. The events will include an information session, depression screening, and providing a list of mental health providers who treat Medicare patients. We will also make follow-up phone calls to determine if participants made an appointment, with support and encouragement to get professional help. |
