In this episode of Colorado Aging Allies, Dr. Kyrsten Hill, an expert in Clinical Geropsychology, joins us to explore the connections between lifelong learning, stress management, and the well-being of older adults. Dr. Hill shares her insights into how continuous mental engagement—through formal education, hobbies, or community involvement—can help older adults manage stress and maintain mental, physical, and emotional health. We also discuss her research on daily stressors in late life, the role of community support, and practical strategies for family members and caregivers to encourage enriching activities for seniors. Whether you're an older adult, a caregiver, or someone interested in promoting healthy aging, this episode offers valuable information on the importance of staying engaged and resilient throughout life
