(DURHAM, October 27, 2005) — To increase awareness of the challenges of aging and identify ways to ensure the well-being of citizens as they grow older, New Hampshire Public Television and Seniors Count/Easter Seals NH will hold a community forum on Monday, November 14th, from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. at the Senior Activity Center, 70 Temple Street, Nashua, NH. While there is no charge to attend, pre-registration is requested by calling NH ServiceLink Network at (866) 634-9412.The forum is the fifth and last to be held in locations across the state as part of the innovative Seeing Seniors: Shaping the Future of Aging in NH grant project. The forums bring seniors and caregivers together with local leaders to discuss the health, well-being and future of our communities as we age. It’s estimated that 12 percent of New Hampshire’s population is 65 and older, and in 20 years this figure will double. The forums, along with a six-part series being broadcast on NHPTV’s NH Outlook program, are designed to increase awareness of, and encourage citizen involvement in, issues involving aging. Five Seeing Seniors segments have been featured on NH Outlook thus far, focusing on caregiving, community housecalls, transportation issues, community life, and North Country rural poverty. These programs are archived at www.nhptv.org/outlook and available for viewing anytime.NH Outlook, NHPTV’s award-winning nightly newsmagazine, is dedicated to statewide coverage of the people, places and politics that make the Granite State special.
