Research shows that approximately one in ten retirees report suicidal ideation, and one in four suffer from significant life dissatisfaction, mood, and relationship issues. This course was developed to focus on mental health and wellness in pre-retirement and into early retirement to reduce depression, improve socialization, and focus on relationship functioning issues.

This is not just another retirement presentation that solely focuses on financial wellness. This is a retirement resilience course that provides tools to help you rediscover identity, purpose, security, and acceptance into retirement in order to improve quality of life adaptation and make the unknown known. When one door closes, another one opens.
