Empowering older adults to make positive, healthy choices

As more Americans enter their senior years and life expectancies reach record highs, it is more important than ever for seniors to focus on their health and wellbeing. It’s critical they recognize the life choices they make and their behaviors can have a significant impact on their quality of life.

Recognizing the unique needs and perspective of seniors, the New Jersey Prevention Network developed the Wellness Initiative for Senior Education (WISE) Program, a six-week, evidenced-based substance abuse prevention and wellness program. In covering a range of topics from stress management and strategies for healthy living to medication management and prescription drug abuse, WISE uses an interactive approach to help seniors celebrate aging, make positive lifestyle choices, and feel more confident and in control of their lives.

The WISE Program, developed and widely used in New Jersey since 1996, has reached over 40,000 older adults. The program sessions take place every other week for a total six sessions. Each session is about two hours in length. Session topics include medication use and misuse, stress management, the aging process, depression, alcoholism and prescription drug abuse.

Ages 60+ are invited to six sessions on important health & lifestyle topics. Attend them all or choose one or two that interest you! Programs will be happening every other Thursday starting March 5th at 10am at the Eastern Avenue Branch. Program dates are: March 5, 19 and April 2, 16, 30, and May 14.

This program is recommended for adults. Registration is not required. It is also not required to attend all the sessions! Come to as many or as few as you like.
