CSU Extension offers Aging Mastery Program

Colorado State University Extension for the Golden Plains area (Phillips, Yuma, Washington, Kit Carson, Morgan and Logan counties) is pleased to announce that it will be offering a bi-weekly health and wellness package to residents 55 and over. The program is called the Aging Mastery Program®.  It was developed by the National Council on Aging and has been successful at helping older adults build their own playbooks for aging well.

This is a wonderful opportunity for older adults to participate in, and reap the benefits of, this cutting-edge wellness program. They are currently recruiting adults (ages 55+) to participate in a 10-chapter, bi-weekly educational program.  

The goal of this program is to empower older adults to make and maintain small but impactful changes. The classes will explore navigating longer lives, physical activity, sleep, healthy eating and hydration, financial fitness, medication management, advanced planning, healthy relationships, falls prevention and community engagement. Basic educational materials developed from highly trusted sources, a checklist of potential next steps, and a system for tracking behaviors will be provided.
