The session is delivered in Farsi and English to make information clear and accessible. \nWhat you’ll learn\n\nWhy ageing affects medications: how body changes can alter effectiveness and side effects.\nPartnering with your provider: ways to discuss dose\, timing\, and whether any medicines might be adjusted or stopped.\nMedication reviews: when and how to review your medicines to keep them safe and useful.\nNoticing concerns: what to pay attention to and when to seek advice.\n\nPresented by a speaker from the Seniors’ Health & Wellness Institute (COSCO). \nWho should attend\nOlder adults and community members interested in staying safe and informed about everyday medication use. All are welcome to join and bring questions. \nEvent details\n\nDate: Tuesday\, October 28\, 2025\nTime: 10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.\nLocation: MOSAIC HQ — Classroom 1 (5575 Boundary Rd\, Vancouver\, BC V5R 2P9)\nLanguages: Farsi and English\n\nLooking for more support?\nIf you want more support with healthy ageing and community connection\, check the MOSAIC Seniors page.
