LAKEPORT, Calif. – Are you a senior 55 years of age or older with a lifetime of experience to share?

Would you like to give back to other seniors and learn the secrets of aging gracefully?

The Senior Peer Counseling program of Konocti Senior Support Inc. is accepting applications for their fall volunteer training, and learn to help seniors talk through a discouraging time, access services, cope with losses and adapt to the challenges of older age.

Volunteers will share their experiences with other inspirational volunteers, engage in lively discussions, and receive weekly training in the gifts and challenges of aging.

Volunteers will learn skills such as compassionate listening, strategic coping and clear communicating.

You will learn the secrets of increasing peace of mind, reducing stress, recovering from a loss, building healthy relationships and exploring the spiritual advantages of later life.

As a volunteer, you will spend a total of about four hours a week with clients and attending a Tuesday morning group supervision session.

They have a limited number of applications for volunteers throughout Lake County for this free training facilitated by licensed psychotherapist Kim Baughan Young MFT.

Training includes experiential practice, movie clips, lively group discussion and even free lunches.

The training will be held on three successive Mondays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. beginning Oct. 24.
