Navigating Life After 50: Psychologist Simon Groß to Discuss Aging and Well-being

As individuals approach and surpass their mid-50s, significant physical, psychological, and social changes occur. The Volkshochschule Iserlohn (VHS) is hosting a lecture by psychologist Simon Groß to explore these transitions and offer insights into navigating this phase of life. The event, titled “Sprachlos oder sprich drauf los?” (Lost for Words or Speak Up?), will seize place on Thursday, March 5th, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at the Iserlohn city train station.

Understanding the Psychological Shifts of Aging

Growing older often involves confronting changes related to retirement, health, and social roles. Retirement, in particular, can evoke a range of emotions, from financial concerns to dreams of leisure. As individuals get closer to retirement, their perspectives on aging often evolve. The lecture aims to address these psychological barriers and provide a space for reflection and discussion.
