How do we connect religious / spiritual tenets to mental health and wellbeing? As we launch our first lifelong learning online course, we sat down with Learning Coach and ASCENIOR Senior Consultant Dr. Tyler Ong to discuss "religion, spirituality and mental health".  

We sat down with Nanay Josephine Villatema of Norzagaray, Bulacan who completed Grade 10 (Junior HS) at the age of 62. She finished Junior High at the Timoteo Policarpio Memorial Elementary School through the Alternative Learning System (ALS) Program. We were also joined by her teacher Ms. Shiela Flores Castillo.  Another inspiring episode of perseverance and determination from a Filipino senior citizen. Age is really just a number!

"My biggest advice to fellow seniors is, keep your mind busy.. churn out more ideas. Off the wall ideas, not the usual expected ideas. Come up with divergent views and experiment. I'm always a believer of making things happen and not just waiting for things to happen.." - Dr. Luz S. Almeda

We sat down with Mrs. Cecille Lim, CEO and Founder of Global Access Consultancy, Inc. (GACI), to discuss the new program we are offering for Filipino immigrants and their elderly family members left behind in the Philippines.
