Workshop- "Healing Your Relationship with Money"
Michele Vallone, LCSW, Success Coach and EFT Practitioner

For many people, especially older adults, money can be a confusing and an overwhelming part of life. Whether you have a lot of it, or not much at all. Issues such as; overspending, debt, feelings of entitlement, feelings of scarcity, hoarding, the inability to receive money you deserve, or just inadequate financial planning are often tied to much deeper emotional issues. Unhealthy money beliefs learned early in life can now be changed.

The WISE Program is a health and wellness program targeting older adults. WISE promotes health through education concerning high-risk behaviors in older adults. The WISE Program is designed to help older adults celebrate healthy aging, make healthy lifestyle choices and avoid substance abuse. The curriculum is designed to take place once per week over a six-week period. Each lesson is about 1 ½ to 2 hours, not including time breakfast or lunch, which we recommend serving in order to help the group get to know each other and socialize. Older Adults receive a $25 Visa Gift Card upon graduation.
