Would you like to Contribute?
Dr. Milo Benningfield, a family psycologist, is seeking seniors to participate in a research project he is conducting. He is interviewing seniors about their relations with their adult children. He hopes to eventually publish a book on the subject. Dr. Benningfield is especially interested in seniors who anticipate or who are currently living with their adult child. While this is a rapidly growing phenomenon in our society, currently there is almost nothing available for seniors on the subject. Dr. Benningfield is hoping to publish a book that will provide practical help and information on this subject drawing from his 30 years as a practicing family psycologist and from interviews with 21st century seniors.
If you would like to participate in this unique project, please put your name on the signup sheet that is located at the front desk of the Brenda Button Mills Senior Center. There is also a survey to pick up to review/answer before meeting Dr. Benningfield. Those who participate in the project will be entered into a drawing for a $30 gift certificate.
