PALS (Planning Ahead for LGBTQ Seniors) is a volunteer-led community initiative based in Palm Springs, CA, that helps LGBTQ+ adults and friends to plan ahead before a health or other life-altering situation arises.
Having a plan in place mitigates stress and anxiety, ensures that you are in control of your future care and legacy, and relieves the burden on family and friends!

Embracing Aging Bodies and Capabilities versus BDD, Ageism, and Ableism
Register to attend in-person HERE, or Register to attend via Zoom HERE.
Getting old is not for the faint at heart. The changes in how we look, feel and what we can/cannot do can be difficult to accept. So how do we age “gracefully” when as LGBTQ+ seniors we are often regarded with some measure of disdain, disconnection and discrimination; not only by society at large, but also by our younger LGBTQ+ counterparts? Join PALS for an interactive seminar and journey designed to address our ageist and ableist attitudes and beliefs, reframe growing old, introduce flexibility in how we adapt, provide steps for facing and embracing our golden years with kindness and compassion.
*We will have six more seminars for you in 2025 – stay tuned!
- To promote planning ahead before a health issue or other life-altering situation arises,
- To address ageism,
- To address sexism,
- To reduce isolation,
- To create a community of people who look out for each other.
