- The Wise Wisconsin Virtual Learning Series offered six sessions in 2022. The series covered topics on advanced directives, retirement transitions, reframing aging, compassion resilience, strategies to re-energize for health and well-being, and preparing for the growing season. The end-of-session evaluations show that 95% of respondents indicated they would use at least one skill they learned. In addition to that, 84% of respondents indicated that as a result of the program they felt more connected to others and 83% felt they now had the resources to be more connected to others. Evaluation results show that we are meeting the outcome of increasing social connection with the Wise Wisconsin program.
