PAIN BE GONE! Acute, immediate pain is an essential way that your body alerts you to a problem. This sort of sudden pain that accompanies bumps, and bruises and breaks guides you to treat that damaged body part with care until it heals. However, chronic pain that lingers long past the healing is less about the body part than it is about the underlying story you are telling yourself. Chronic pain is an expression of what you believe about that body part and about yourself. The good news is that what you believe and the stories you tell based on those beliefs can change. The even better news is, you have the authority to make those changes for the better. In one evening, you will learn the basic formula for taking command of your body’s sensations and what you can do, right now, to lessen chronic pain and experience the relief that drugs cannot give you.

Age Friendly Sausalito Helps to Lead Age Friendly Marin In 2014 Sausalito was the first City in the County and third in the State to become a member of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Network of Age Friendly Cities and Communities. This happened because the Sausalito City Council unanimously agreed to create a City Task Force and to allow the group to put in an application along with a letter of commitment from the Mayor to create a strategic plan for our City which was unanimously agreed upon in late 2016. Fairfax and Corte Madera also became members of the WHO Network. Age Friendly Marin support group meets each month prior to the monthly Marin Commission on Aging meetings. Cities that have already received designation meet with city representatives who are at some stage in the process to support one another in their efforts and to share best practices along the way. Age Friendly Sausalito is a great example of the power of the Age Friendly movement in the County having created CARSS (Call A Ride for Sausalito Seniors). Age Friendly Sausalito has also partnered with many groups to create presentations related to affordable alternatives in housing, transportation, home modifications, and more. The County of Marin’s Department of Aging and Adult Services is very involved in the Age Friendly Movement and is working hard to address the realities of the County’s Longevity Boom. The department recently released the following important announcement:
“Older adults are the fastest growing age group in Marin County. Today one in four Marin residents is over age 60, and that number is estimated to rise to one in three by 2030. On average, Marin residents enjoy a life expectancy that ranks among the top five of all counties in the United States.
The County of Marin recognizes the growing needs of seniors and assigns it a high priority. With a growing older adult population living longer lives, more questions are being asked about appropriate community-based resources. Marin County Aging and Adult Services, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is poised to provide answers. Over the past year, the department’s Information and Assistance program has undergone major enhancements to meet the needs of older adults, family members and care partners in Marin. By reorganizing existing personnel and processes, there are now more HHS professional resource staff members available to speak directly to those calling 415-457-INFO during business hours. Callers can receive information about a full range of local public, nonprofit and private social services and related resources. The professional resource workers can help a caller explore options and identify individual needs and circumstances.” Information can also be found online at livelonglivewellmarin.org.
