Pre-Retirement Counseling Sessions

Sponsors:
The UAB Center for Aging

Summary:
These seminars are conducted for the benefit of City of Birmingham employees who are about to enter into retirement, to prepare them for the mental challenges and lifestyle changes that typically accompany retirement. The purpose of these sessions is to help older adults avoid some common pitfalls of retirement, such as decreased activity, more limited social interaction, and other factors that can lead to depression and a host of other conditions associated with older adults.

Description:
These sessions are currently conducted by Robert P. Bynum as a public service. Bynum has led a very active life since retiring from the Social Security Administration several years ago, serving on the Alabama Commission on Aging, the Alabama Quality Assurance Foundation, as well as several regional boards. Lectures are given intermittently whenever the retirement population is large enough to require one.
