The WISE Program is a health and wellness program targeting older adults. WISE promotes health through education concerning high-risk behaviors in older adults. The WISE Program is designed to help older adults celebrate healthy aging, make healthy lifestyle choices and avoid substance abuse. The curriculum is designed to take place once per week over a six-week period. Each lesson is about 1 ½ to 2 hours, not including time breakfast or lunch, which we recommend serving in order to help the group get to know each other and socialize. Older Adults receive a $25 Visa Gift Card upon graduation.

On May 11, the 6th annual Older Adult Mental Health Awareness Day Symposium will spotlight the needs of a population often overlooked in conversations about mental health.

This free event will begin at 10 a.m. ET, with keynote speaker Montel Williams. Attendees can then enjoy the expert-packed panels on the agenda. NCOA anticipates offering free continuing education credit for several professions.

We are proud to once again host this event with our co-sponsors, the U.S. Administration for Community Living, the Health Resources and Services Administration, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

Seating is limited; reservations are required for lunch. Please call the location of your choice for details and reservations:

What is chair yoga?

Chair yoga is just like traditional yoga but uses a chair as a prop during poses. This is for populations that might find traditional yoga challenging and even intimating. If someone isn’t feeling up for the task, the traditional benefits of yoga such as mobility, flexibility, and relaxation might feel out of reach. With the help from a chair, the practice of yoga can feel safe and accessible when it might not normally.
