[KJW #034] Whole-Person-Centered Wellness For Elders and Caregivers - Spanish Seminar at Long Branch Senior Center in Silver Spring, Maryland
This new model of Whole-Person-Centered Wellness health care and better quality of life for elders, is a combination of better ways tested by ERT, Elder Recreation Therapy for elders and WEL, World Elder Land. This program can be implemented in community centers, institutional health care centers, hospitals, retirement centers or individually by journaling and or creating the "Journal For A Better Life" - "Diario Para Una Mejor Vida."
The Whole-Person-Centered Wellness Program focuses on all aspects of wellness: Body, Mind, Spirit, Social Integration, Vocation and Intellectual components of the whole-person living for a better quality of life.
During the seminar we teach and discuss each aspect of whole-person-wellness, and LISTEN to each participant, their own views, experiences, suggestions, beliefs, special circumstances, questions and better ways.
Open to all community members, especially to our elders.
