  The Mental Health Awareness Committee invites you to be part of our dedicated & mutually supportive team.  This committee plays a critical role in raising awareness on the unique mental health challenges faced by older adults. Our goal is to share resources and best practices to ensure our area seniors receive the support they need to thrive.

  •  BLS Mental Health Awareness February Bulletin

  This month we’re focusing on Empathy—how understanding emotions, perspectives, and lived experiences can strengthen the connection between seniors and caregivers. We’ll explore what empathy looks like in real moments and how simple, intentional practices can make a meaningful difference in emotional well‑being.

  The Mental Health Awareness Committee will explore empathy by helping seniors understand what empathy is, how it shows up in daily life, and why it plays such an important role in emotional connection and overall well-being. Together, we will look at recognizing emotional cues in ourselves and others, understanding different perspectives, and identifying barriers that may make empathy challenging.

  We will also be discussing exciting plans for our May consortium. We are hopeful that all of you will provide your thoughts and feedback.

  You’ll receive the Zoom link once you’ve registered. Please invite your colleagues.

  Hearts and Hope Fundraiser is an indoor/outdoor concert benefiting seniors and disabled adults that are suffering for basic necessities.

  Many senior citizens and disabled adults in our community are currently struggling with a lack of basic necessities. These individuals, our neighbors, often face challenges in affording essential items such as food and hygiene products. Beyond these fundamental needs, some require mental health support, legal guidance, daily assistance, affordable housing options, and clothing. The difficulties they encounter often go unnoticed. To address these critical needs, we are organizing an event featuring diverse entertainment, a live raffle, and other engaging activities. All proceeds generated will be directly allocated to providing care for seniors and disabled adults in need within Pinellas County.

  Get ready for one of the most fun and festive events of the year! We invite you to join us for an evening filled with holiday cheer and the chance to connect with fellow BLS Pinellas Chapter members. Please RSVP to let us know if you will be attending so we may better plan the arrangements.

  Dress code or lack of one is business casual, but with a holiday twist! Think 'business on the bottom, party on the top' – or vice versa! Feel free to jazz things up with cocktail attire, jingle bells, twinkling lights, or even a fun holiday-themed t-shirt. And for those brave souls willing to battle the Florida heat, dust off that ugly sweater and show off your holiday spirit! Let's make this a festive and memorable occasion!
  

  But that’s not all! We’ll be giving away some exciting door prizes, and we encourage you to bring your own to share, adding to the festive spirit of the evening.

  Please note that this is a BLS Pinellas member only event. Want in on the action? If you're not a member yet, now's the perfect time to join! Sign up today! Don't miss out – Join or Renew Now!

  We look forward to seeing you there!
