Understanding the Pandemic – A TVIH Community Wide Workshop Made Possible with a Horizon Foundation Grant.

This is the first session of a two-part virtual series open to TVIH Members and the public. Jim Sanders will guide his audience through the challenges of self-isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This pandemic is having a profoundly negative impact on the mental health of our communities and is expected to worsen over time.  Fortunately, older adults have demonstrated a solid resilience in the face of adversity and revealed the ability to adapt to the requirements for physical distancing.  If you are looking for trusted sources on the infection and strategies for stress management, this series is for you.

The First Session “Understanding the Pandemic” will focus on creating a Personal Management Plan. The presentation will include facts about the infection, treatment, and vaccination; forecasts for the pandemic’s length and intensity; and explore risks of illness and strategies to reduce infection opportunities. As always, Jim will provide the latest top resources for Covid-19.

The Second Session will be December 14th at 4:00 PM.  It will cover “Approaches to Daily Living, Social Distancing and Isolation.”  The group will tackle common daily risk factors, overcoming social isolation, and successful programs and methods that create community.


Last year, Jim Sanders led the Village in Howard through many classes on successfully aging in place.  A 45-year Columbia resident, Jim is a semi-retired professor of social entrepreneurship, and active member of the American Society on Aging, and the Gerontology Association of America.
