Essential Tech Clinic
A trusted place to ask before the question becomes urgent.
Four scheduled sessions each year give members a predictable place to learn, ask questions, and recognize current risks—in plain language and without pressure.
Accessible by design
Video conference with telephone dial-in.
The telephone option is part of the program, not an afterthought.
Each session is recorded. A one-page plain-language handout is emailed to every residential member afterward, including people who could not attend.
Community connection
At least two sessions are held in person.
Public libraries, senior centers, community centers, and church fellowship halls create a familiar, approachable setting. Members may bring a guest.
Additional sessions may be scheduled when an active local threat or scam pattern warrants one.
Quarterly topic rhythm
Useful subjects people can plan around.
The themes are stable enough to publish and flexible enough to reflect current examples.
Tax Season Fraud
Impersonation, refund scams, and preparer fraud.
Accounts and Access
Passwords, account recovery, and safer online banking.
Protecting What Matters
Photo and document backup and staying connected with family.
Enrollment and Holiday Season
Open-enrollment scams and safer holiday shopping.
