A lecture that combines experience, dignity, and orientation
The lecture Dealing with War Trauma in Old Age invites you on July 21, 2026 to a sensitive, professionally sound exchange about the impact of past stressful experiences in later life. The focus is on older adults, their relatives, and all those who accompany seniors during a difficult life phase.
A topic with depth and great human relevance
When war experiences, loss, and other emotional burdens resurface in old age, knowledge, calmness, and a respectful communication culture are needed. This is where the lecture comes in. It provides clear context and creates space for social participation, health care, and a mindful approach to memories that can affect well-being.
Professional context for seniors and relatives
Speaker Martin Frey, pedagogical therapist, nursing professional, and trauma expert in elderly care, brings experience from practical support for older people. The lecture is aimed at everyone who wants to know how to succeed in everyday support when memories of war and flight become palpable again in old age. The event is part of the information series of the Dementia Network in collaboration with the Senior Citizens' Office with Care Support Point.
