The Waushara County Department of Aging in partnership with UW Extension is pleased to announce the return of the Aging Mastery Program®. The 6-week health and wellness workshop is free for adults 55 and over, and begins October 6th.
“This cutting edge, educational program is for adults who want to get as much information as they can from a variety of sources on a broad range of topics, before making decisions that are best for them as they age,” says Carolyn Schmidt, Programs Specialist for Waushara County. “Participants leave with actionable items every week that can help increase their well-being and help improve their overall outlook on aging.”
The goal of this program is to empower older adults to make and maintain small but impactful changes. The classes will explore navigating longer lives, physical activity, sleep, healthy eating and hydration, financial fitness, medication management, advanced planning, healthy relationships, falls prevention, and community engagement. Easy to follow educational materials developed from highly trusted sources are provided, a checklist of potential next steps, and a system for tracking behaviors. The program was developed by the National Council on Aging (NCOA).
The workshop runs Thursdays from October 6th – November 10th, from 9:30 til 11:30 at the Waushara County Courthouse, Demonstration Room. Registration is required. Contact the Department of Aging for more information or to register for the program: (920) 787-0403.
