In response to older adults in isolation, the Human Development & Relationships (HDR) Educator co-facilitated the evidence-based Aging Mastery Program (AMP) virtually in September and October 2021. The materials for this ten-part series were provided free to participants through a partnership grant with the National Council on Aging. The interactive series focused on: navigating longer lives, healthy movement, sleep, healthy eating and hydration, financial fitness, medication management, advance planning, healthy relationships, and community engagement. The HDR Educator is a trained facilitator. Participants were empowered to take key steps to improve well-being, add stability to their lives, and strengthen ties to their community through action planning, practice tools, and group encouragement.

A participant said in an email “I wanted to send you a special THANK YOU!! for the spectacular AMP session. You truly exceeded my expectations! Great facilitators, great guest speakers!! The program description sounded interesting and applicable to me when I read about it…And I was curious to see how all the topics would be addressed. You did NOT disappoint! Each session was so comprehensive and engaging. I had special takeaways for each session. More than worth my while! I feel much more confident as I start my retirement. I hope more people take advantage of your expertise and insight. Thanks again for a wonderful experience. I wouldn’t change a thing. I especially appreciate your ability to execute so well in a virtual format. That’s not an easy feat. “
