Java with Joe! (aka Coffee with a Cop!)

Let’s meet up with Joe Downs, with the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, and some of his great colleagues for a great morning conversation. Joe, with nearly 4 decades of experience in law enforcement, shares his particular passion for all things Helping Seniors. Joe will share on the Project Lifesaver program, a rapid-response search-and-rescue program designed to protect individuals with cognitive conditions—such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, and autism—who are prone to wandering.
Joe has been a long-time friend of Seniors, and his expertise is often called upon by many in the law enforcement community when it comes to finding the right way to address challenges that Seniors may run into along the way. He joins us at the Helping Seniors Resource Center for a morning table-top discussion.
Join Helping Seniors Executive Director Kerry Fink for this fun and informative morning out with a true hero of Seniors in Brevard!

Your Aging Plan: Getting Your Ducks in a Row 2026

Knowledge College for Aging

Overview

10am-11am – Thursday – August 27th 2026

Join us as Dr. Mike Edwards PhD, CHHP, CHES, CPT, Professor at the Faith College of Natural Health, shares on “Managing or Curing GERD Without Drugs!”
Millions of seniors experience chronic acid indigestion or GERD and are often prescribed drugs to block stomach acid production. This often prolongs or worsens the problem since the older we become, the less stomach acid is produced to help digest our food. In addition acid reducers often create nutritional deficiencies which could lead to serious health consequences.
Helping Seniors Executive Director Kerry Fink hosts the 2026 Knowledge College for Aging series with a look at the steps for “Getting Your Ducks in a Row” and the 7 Key Pillars of a Good Aging Plan.

Helping Seniors Knowledge College for Aging!

The Aging Plan Series presented by Helping Seniors
A key component of your Aging Plan—what we call “Getting Your Ducks in a Row”— is knowing what key components should be in it and how to bring it all together.
Here in Florida, we all know the importance of having a Hurricane Plan—not because we want a storm, but because we want to be prepared. An Aging Plan follows the same principle. It doesn’t mean expecting problems—it means being ready for whatever comes your way.
Through our Knowledge College for Aging series, you’ll learn how to build your own Aging Plan—your personal roadmap for “Getting Your Ducks in a Row.”
Be proactive. Be prepared. Join us in creating a smart Aging Plan, tailored to your needs.

Adult Mental Health First Aid Training

Overview

Nearly 1 in 5 people in the U.S. live with a mental illness. Learn how to support your friends, families, and neighbors with this training.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is skills-based training that teaches people how to identify, understand, and respond to signs and symptoms of a mental health or substance use challenge. Like physical First Aid and CPR, MHFA helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis until professional assistance is obtained or the crisis is resolved. Studies show that MHFA training reduces stigma, improves knowledge, and increases first-aid actions toward people experiencing mental health and substance use challenges.

During the course, you’ll build the skills and confidence to reach out and provide initial support to struggling people. You’ll also learn how to help connect them to appropriate support.

AFTER THE COURSE, YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
Recognize common signs and symptoms of mental health challenges.Understand how to interact with a person in crisis.Know how to connect a person with help.Use self-care tools and techniques.

Delivery:
All registered learners will complete a 2-hour, self-paced online assignment PRIOR TO THE TRAINING, and participate in a 5.5-hour, in-person Instructor-led training. Please note – no lunch is provided during this training.

Cost:
