CSA Videos

LifeChronicles has made a wonderful video about the Center for Successful Aging (CSA). The video features our Director, Beverly Schydlowsky, PhD., who will tell you about CSA’s broad range of services, and our peer counselors and clients who will share their experiences.

Schools Of Thought With Bill Cirrone with Guest: Beverly Schydlowsky
   
   

Dr. Evelyn Freeman, innovator of the nationally acclaimed Senior Peer Counseling Training Center in Santa Monica, California, has expressed her support and enthusiasm for CSA, saying, “Through the inspired dedication of peer counselors, everyone can benefit—the client, the counselor, the agency that offers this service, and the entire community.”

Clinical Director, Dr. Schydlowsky, who has a doctorate in psychology and is a licensed clinical social worker, commented on the dedication of the volunteer counselors, “Their passion comes out of their experiences and learning new ways to think about their own lives and aging process. Because of this, they are excited to help others open new doors and discover creative and proactive approaches to the process of growing older.”

The program helps seniors who are facing the issues and challenges of aging. When loved ones are lost and friends move away, it’s easy to feel isolated, frightened and depressed. The Center for Successful Aging provides assurance that our community does care and that people don't have to go it alone. With trained volunteer counselors available to help deal with every day problems, seniors of all backgrounds can stay connected to their community and continue to live independent and emotionally rewarding lives.
