Growing older and grief. How to face menopause, andropause and retirement

The AFIN group, a research and laboratory group providing scientific-technical and academic services at the UAB, in collaboration with the “la Caixa” Foundation, is organising a conference series entitled "Humanistic Challenges on recognising and dealing with grief to live better", under the scientific direction of Diana Marre, professor of anthropology at the UAB and director of the AFIN group.

The second conference, on grieving at an older age, will deal with processes that we face throughout life and that are necessary to grow, such as menopause, andropause and retirement. The conference will be given by María Fernanda Peraza, a medical expert in urology, andrology and sexual and reproductive medicine at the Clínica Corachán Urology Department; Elisa Llurba, medical expert in gynaecology, obstetrics and menopause and head of the Gynaecology, Obstetrics and Assisted Reproduction Service of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau; and Josep Vilajoana, doctor in psychology and expert in bereavement with more than 20 years of practice in various foundations and social services.

The conference will take place on 4 June at 6:30 p.m. at the Palau Macaya (Pg. de St. Joan, 108, L'Eixample, 08037 Barcelona). Please sign up here to attend.
