The Aging Mastery Program® (AMP) will help you create your own playbook for aging well via actionable goals, sustainable behaviors, peer support, and incentives. The program encourages mastery—developing behaviors across many dimensions that will lead to improved health, stronger financial security, and overall well-being.
What you will gain from the program:
- Information to help you make small but impactful changes in your health behaviors, financial well-being & enrichment in later life.
- Real incentives and rewards for taking small steps that can improve your well-being.
- Chances to meet new friends, provide support and encouragement to your peers, and become more involved in your community.
What the program requires of you:
- Commitment to attend at least 7 (but hopefully more!) of the 10 ninety-minute classes.
- Following up after each class with Action Steps specific to that class topic.
Details:
- When: Fridays, January 12 to March 15, 2:00 – 3:30pm
