Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. For many people with depression, symptoms usually are severe enough to cause noticeable problems in day-to-day activities, such as work, school, social activities or relationships with others. Some people may feel generally miserable or unhappy without really knowing why.
More than just about the blues, depression isn’t a weakness and you can’t simply “snap out” of it. Depression may require long-term treatment. But don’t get discouraged. Most people with depression feel better with medication, psychotherapy or both.

What if everything you were told about aging wasn’t true?
Join Elaine Marcucio, Lifestyle Coordinator and owner of New England Young at Heart for this 1.5-hour workshop to help us rethink how we age in our later years, with dignity, comfort, and CHOICE. In this workshop, you will hear a short presentation, join in the discussion, and create a vision board that will help you navigate how you see yourself aging. Have you ever thought about what your own life would look like? Grab a friend or family member and join us to redefine this journey we call Aging.
Light refreshments will be offered.
We are all aging, which is why this workshop is for ALL ages.
There are two sessions to choose from:

The Y is now…as it has always been…a place of possibility and promise for all
Unfortunately, in times when the true power of “us” is unknown to many and our bonds are fraying, we must do even more to enhance our human connections. That’s why the Y passionately focuses on strengthening communities.
Every day, the Y supports kids, adults, seniors, and families with programs that protect, teach, connect, heal, nourish and encourage. Everything we do helps communities and the “us” who live in them thrive.
We can’t do it alone.
That’s why Giving Tuesday, December 3…a day dedicated to supporting causes that do great work…we hope you’ll donate to the Y. Giving Tuesday is a singular opportunity to help our Y strengthen your community. No other organization and no other donation will have a more positive impact on “us”.
THIS GIVING TUESDAY, DONATE FOR A BETTER US.
THE Y. FOR A BETTER US.

The Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education is a safe and gentle way to learn how to move better with more ease, balance, and security. It is based on principles of physics, biomechanics, and an empirical understanding of learning and human development. Learn to increase your ease and range of motion, improve your flexibility and coordination, and rediscover the freedom of movement most often associated with childhood.
“The Feldenkrais Method seeks to gently reeducate those who may have forgotten how to move comfortably by subtly retraining the nervous system. This approach is fundamentally different from medical care: In the Feldenkrais Method the student collaborates with his teacher to relearn comfortable ways of moving, whereas in the medical approach the emphasis is on repairing a structural defect.”— Turner Osler, MD, FACS, MSc, Research Professor, Department of Surgery, University of Vermont
What are the benefits of and who can benefit from the Feldenkrais Method®?
• For posture and balance
• For illness, pain, or injury
• For healthy aging
• For babies and children
• For athletes and performers
Welcome to a new way of thinking about health!

CHRISTMAS IN EUROPE. NATIVITY DISPLAYS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
Across Europe, the annual celebration of Christ’s birth has formed traditions that have become part of the cultural fabric of its nations and regions. European artists, from the great masters to local craftspeople, have depicted the Nativity for centuries, often integrating and showcasing regional clothing, architecture, and raw materials. The show also explores the traditions and festivities that have developed across the continent to celebrate the Christmas season.
In addition, the museum will host its annual Christmas Tree Festival, Connecticut Catholic schoolchildren make ornaments and decorations in the theme of the museum’s Christmas show, then visit the museum to trim its two dozen trees. The handmade adornments showcase the creativity and imagination of the young learners and are a colorful complement to the Christmas exhibition.
WHEN: Monday, December 16, 2019
TIME: 12:15 pm. Meet in the lobby and we will carpool
