Course name: Refire not retire
Duration: 1 day workshop
Participants: 8 - 15
Growing older is an experience we all share and many of us worry about. As we age, we face many changes and many sources of stress. We are not as strong as we used to be, illness is more of a problem, children move away from home, people we love die, we may become lonely, and eventually we must give up our jobs and retire.
Coping with all these changes is difficult, but it can be done. The keys to coping include your long-term lifestyle, your ability to expect and plan for change, the strength of your relationships with surviving family and friends and your willingness to stay interested in and involved with life. Course aimed at people who are retired or are going to retire from work and feel overwhelmed. Also aimed at individuals who like to have more at the second stage of their life.

- Health
- Dealing with the past
