Join McMaster’s Department of Health, Aging & Society for the next #HASTalks seminar, Trash Talk: What Plogging Teaches Us About Age and Activism featuring Dr. Kelsey Harvey, Assistant Professor of Experiential Studies in Community and Sport at Cape Breton University.
The McMaster Alumni Webinar series presents: Helping or Hurting? The Impact of Social Media on Mental Health and Well-Being
Over five billion people use social media worldwide, yet social scientists have reached little consensus on how it influences mental health and well-being. In this talk, Dr. Tara Marshall will draw on the Active-Passive Model of Social Media Use to illustrate that the impact of social media depends less on the amount of time spent using it and more on the ways that it is used.
Dialogue on Aging Public Presentation Series is pleased to host Dr. Michael Koehle, Professor of Kinesiology and Director, Sport & Exercise Medicine, University of British Columbia, for a talk titled: "Coping with Heat: Recommendations and Challenges for Aging"
This talk will discuss the risks associated with exercising in air pollution and heat, and cover strategies that older adults can employ to minimise health risk in these conditions.
