Wellness classes for older adults launch in October

Cape Assist’s next installments of its W.I.S.E. Program, a wellness initiative focusing on the health and well-being of individuals 51 and up, will begin in October.

To accommodate more participants, two classes will be offered – one on Wednesday and one on Thursday – beginning at 11:30 a.m. The group setting allows participants to meet like-minded individuals and offer support and encouragement as needed.

During the six virtual sessions, individuals will receive valuable information and resources to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Participants will receive guidance on making healthy choices, including what behaviors to avoid, safe practices regarding alcohol, prescription and over-the counter medications; and simple tools to take charge of one’s healthcare.

Wednesday Group dates:
October 7, October 14, October 21,
October 28, November 4, November 11
11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Zoom

Thursday Group dates:
October 8, October 15, October 22,
October 29, November 5, November 12
11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Zoom

The program is FREE to participants as it is funded by the State of New Jersey Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, but pre-registration is required. Everyone who completes the program will receive a $100 gift card.
