Really looking forward to this event! For those who don't know, Scott Pirrello and his team at the San Diego County District Attorney's Office run the Elder Justice Task Force (EJTF) dedicated to identifying, investigating, and disrupting scam networks that target older adults locally in San Diego. Senior Tech Connect. This work is extremely important, especially given the influx of new tactics and cyber scams - so much so that we stream the '60 Minutes' episode featuring the EJTF San Diego whenever we present on Top Senior Scams. Senior Tech Connect is looking forward to collaborating with Scott's team to provide #Cybersecurity workshops and other resources to help older adults (especially those vulnerable to cyber crime) throughout #SanDiego County over the next few months. Come out to this event! In the meantime, please educate your loved ones with these three simple tips: 1️⃣ If you don't recognize a phone number, don't pick up the phone. 2️⃣ If you receive notification of some payment due, call the organization directly to confirm (not through the link). 3️⃣ Treat all texts, calls, emails with caution. From the IRS: "We typically contact you the first time through regular U.S. mail delivered by the U.S. Postal Service. To verify the IRS sent the letter or notice, you can search for it on IRS.gov."

Men’s mental health matters—and it always has. Now that Movember has wrapped up, it’s important to remember that the conversation about men’s mental health doesn’t stop with November. For too long, men have been pressured to “man up,” stay silent, and carry their struggles alone. But silence doesn’t heal—it isolates. My dad’s story is a powerful reminder of this. His mental health struggles, left unsupported, drove him to the bottle as a way to cope. He worked incredibly hard as the CTO at AXA (I had no idea what that actually meant growing up!), but like so many men, he was fighting invisible battles beneath the surface. He doesn’t mind me sharing this—he’s retired now, with no career pressures (or fear of shaming!), and has always believed in using his story to help others. He’s taught me and my sisters to own our stories and show up as our authentic selves. I couldn’t be prouder of him for owning his (Mates in Mind). If initiatives like Movember had existed in the 90s, maybe things would’ve been different. Maybe the stigma around men seeking help wouldn’t have been so strong. Maybe he would’ve had access to the support he needed. This is why Movember is so important—not for the moustaches, but for the conversations they spark. Kudos to Josh Carhart👇, whose ginger genetics made his Movember attempt a bit… underwhelming 😂. But it’s not about the facial hair—it’s about shining a light to break the stigma, support men, and remind them that it’s okay to talk, to ask for help, and to admit they’re struggling. If you’re reading this and struggling, know this: reaching out for help isn’t weakness—it’s strength.
