An Added Dimension For the most part my clients are Elders. While they do face the challenges of aging, they also enjoy the fulfillment of experiencing a healthy active life contributing their seasoned perspectives to rewarding endeavours for themselves and others. To better appreciate their values and needs I have followed the curriculum leading to the designation of "Elder Planning Counselor" (EPC). With this added dimension to my qualifications my service to Elders can be more complete.
