February is National Senior Independence Month, and AARP is marking the occasion by offering a series of free online programs designed to support safety, well-being, and independence for older adults across Alaska.
The virtual events run throughout February and cover topics ranging from daily wellness and road safety to fall prevention and home fire safety. Sessions are short, accessible, and open to the public. You do not need to be an AARP member to attend.
The February schedule includes:
- Practice the Science of Happiness — Every Tuesday, 7:30–7:45 a.m., offering a brief, supportive start to the day.
- Driving at Night: Stay Safe on the Road — Monday, February 9 (12:00–12:45 p.m.) and Thursday, February 12 (9:00–9:45 a.m.).
- Preventing Falls: Tips to Help You Keep Your Balance and Avoid Injury — Tuesday, February 17, 10:00–11:30 a.m.
- Home Fire Safety Workshop — Thursday, February 19, 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
- What Is an End-of-Life Doula? — Thursday, February 26, 9:00–10:00 a.m.
The programs are hosted by AARP in partnership with the Alaska Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC). Organizers say the goal is to provide practical, easy-to-use information that helps seniors remain active, informed, and independent in their communities.
