LAWRENCE, Kan. – If the longer days and colder temperatures are getting you down, a free new virtual program being offered by the 50 Plus Department of the Johnson County Park and Recreation District might be able to help.
This program is called Wintertime Blues and will be presented Katherine Melton from Rediscovering You, a local nonprofit mental health group which provides education, and awareness of mental health issues. This session will discuss how many people suffer emotionally from the seasonal shifts in temperature, time change, and isolation that winter brings, and provide suggestions for how to beat the wintertime blues. The second half of the presentation will be an open discussion, facilitated by Melton.

Wintertime Blues will take place beginning at 3 p.m. on Dec. 15. This one-hour program is free, but registration is required.
