Retire Well

First Responder research shows that approximately 1 in 10 retirees report suicidal ideation and 1 in 4 suffer from significant life satisfaction, mood and relationship issues. Retire Well was created based on research that indicated a need for a psychological program that addresses mental health and wellness in pre-retirement and into early retirement in order to reduce depression, social or relationship functioning issues and suicide rates for retirees. This is not just another retirement presentation that solely focuses on financial wellness. This is a retirement resilience course that will provide tools to help rediscover identity, purpose, security and acceptance into retirement in order to improve quality of life adaptation and make the unknown known. When one door closes, another one opens!

Training Objectives

• Examine aspects of security in your transition and adaptation to civilian life
• Explore ways to accept change, cope with abandonment and replacement, and find belonging elsewhere in order to reduce risk of suicide
• Find new purpose by staying busy, doing engaging activities and occupations in order to improve life satisfaction
• Identify signs of mental health or relational issues and ways to access the appropriate support
