Retiring from a career is a significant emotional and psychological adjustment for many. Many courses and resources address topics such as financial planning for retirement, legal issues, and the physical transitions of aging. This course will focus instead on emotional well-being during your retirement transition and next chapter.
We will provide skills and resources for social-emotional development to soon-to-retire professionals or those newly retired. Enhance resilience and transition-coping skills. Establish new social connections with other course participants.
