The Wellness Initiative for Senior Education (WISE) Program celebrates healthy aging and educates older adults so they are less likely to experience problems associated with alcohol and medications and more likely to make positive lifestyle choices as they age.
We provide older adults with the information and resources they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and feel empowered about their health and the healthcare they receive.
The WISE Program was developed over the last ten years by the New Jersey Prevention Network (NJPN) and implemented locally by NJPN’s 19 member agencies throughout New Jersey. Implementation and evaluation efforts were made possible with support from the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Division of Addiction Services and the Northeast Center for the Application of Prevention Technology (NECAPT) Service to Science Program.
A new WISE program is kicking off Friday, May 7 in the Jefferson area. If you or someone you know are interested in participating in WISE, please contact Barb Kauffman at Morris County Prevention is Key, 973-625-1998 or bkauffman@mcpik.org.
