Get Your Happy Back

Programs

Heading

Our "Get Your Happy Back" initiative is a vibrant part of our Happiness Program designed to help seniors rediscover joy and enthusiasm in their lives. This program targets those who may be adjusting to significant life changes such as retirement, the loss of a loved one, or an empty nest. We focus on inspiring activities and personal growth opportunities that encourage seniors to embrace their new normal and find happiness anew.

Personalized Happiness Activities

Happiness is not a one-size-fits-all recipe. It's found in those moments and activities that resonate uniquely with you.

Acknowledging that everyone's journey to happiness is personal, we offer a variety of activities to match different interests and physical capabilities. From art classes and music sessions to nature walks and book clubs, each activity is designed to stimulate joy, creativity, and a sense of community among seniors.

How it works

  • Step 1: Sign up through our easy registration process online or over the phone.
  • Step 2: Explore a list of activities and select those that pique your interest.
  • Step 3: We coordinate small groups to ensure personalized attention and a supportive atmosphere
  • Step 4: Engage at your own pace and start rediscovering the joy in everyday life.

For those interested in participating in our "Get Your Happy Back" program, here’s what you’ll need:

  • Openness: A willingness to try new things and meet new people.
  • Commitment: While there's no stringent commitment, regular participation can enhance the overall experience.
  • Accessibility: We ensure that all venues and activities are accessible to accommodate various physical needs.

Why it's important

The transition into later stages of life can often bring loneliness and a sense of purposelessness. "Get Your Happy Back" aims to counter these feelings by providing seniors with structured yet flexible opportunities to engage with their peers and pursue new passions. Engaging in enjoyable activities has been shown to improve mental health, enhance physical well-being, and uplift spirits.

  • After Retirement: Transitioning from a structured work life to retirement can lead to a sense of loss and uncertainty about one's purpose. Our program helps redefine this new phase of life, encouraging engagement in fulfilling activities that provide a sense of accomplishment and community.
  • After Divorce: Divorce can be a deeply isolating experience, especially in the later years. "Get Your Happy Back" offers a supportive environment to connect with others who may share similar experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual understanding.
  • After the Death of a Spouse: Losing a spouse is one of life's most profound changes, often bringing with it overwhelming grief and loneliness. Our program provides compassionate support and new social outlets to help ease the transition and rediscover joy.
  • After Children Move Out: The empty nest period can leave many parents feeling redundant and lonely. "Get Your Happy Back" helps fill this void by offering engaging activities that not only pass the time but also enrich life, helping to forge a new and fulfilling personal identity.
