Kenko Talks
In 2018, Nikkei Seniors Society started running ‘Kenko Talks’, a series of educational seminars to discuss important topics and issues facing today’s seniors. The series has addressed a number of topics about health care and planning for the future as we age.
This year, Nikkei Seniors Health Care & Housing Society is bringing back its “Kenko Talks” with a series of lectures on practical tips and information to improve the daily lives under the COVID pandemic. These presentations will explain how to prevent infection, the efficacy of vaccines, and the symptoms (secondary health problems) that may occur in the mind and body due to the prolonged spread of COVID19 infection. We all face numerous hindrances in our daily lives as a result of the pandemic and we hope to provide you with tools and tips to overcome them.
The presentations will be in English and Japanese languages and will be held virtually through ZOOM on Friday afternoons from October to December. Everyone is welcome to attend, free of charge.
