WISE (Wellness Initiative for Senior Education) is a six-week evidence-based prevention program designed to help older adults celebrate healthy aging, make healthy lifestyle choices and avoid substance use.
It provides valuable educational services to older adults on topics including medication misuse and management, stress management, depression, and substance misuse.
Created by NJPN and implemented locally by prevention agencies across the country, WISE promotes health through education concerning high-risk behaviors in older adults. Since the program was launched in 1996, prevention programs presented by WISE facilitators have reached over 40,000 individuals.
