Apple a Day

Laura Knopp, a licensed mental health therapist with the LRH Senior Life Solutions program joins us to discuss the critical importance of mental health, particularly for older adults, in observance of Mental Health Awareness Month. Laura debunks some common myths about aging and mental health and describes the strong connection between mental and physical wellbeing. She also offers practical, accessible tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), such as managing negative thoughts, using the cognitive triangle, identifying thinking mistakes, and understanding emotions with the feelings wheel.
