We are looking for individuals interested in being trained to deliver in-person sessions on wellness and coping with chronic diseases. Leader training is provided through a comprehensive four-day program and at the end, volunteers are certified to lead programs which are Stanford University developed and evidence-based. The name of the program is LiveWell to check it out visit the website at http://cthealthyliving.org/ With Americans living longer, it's important that we address the impact of chronic diseases on longevity and quality of life.
We are always in need of leaders and people who are fluent in other languages are especially helpful.

Mission Statement
To enhance the quality of life for older adults, individuals with disabilities, and their caregivers in the North Central CT region by ensuring access to quality cost effective services.
Description
- We keep people in their homes as long as possible and out of nursing homes. We all have a preference about how we would like to spend our later years. NCAAA helps support that.
- We advocate for the rights of older adults and the issues they face through outreach and education. We know there are a lot of people out there who do not know where to turn.
- We have been doing this for over 40 years and provided services to thousands of older adults in North Central CT.
- We are part of a national eldercare consortium. There are over 600 Area Agencies on Aging across the Unites States.
