Healthy Aging Program at Mystic Valley Elder Services

Mystic Valley Elder Services offers a variety of free, evidence-based workshops to promote health, wellbeing, and happiness. We are looking for Healthy Aging Group Leaders to advance the mission of the Healthy Aging Program by helping people with chronic medical conditions to manage their medical problems and disabilities by leading workshops that support, educate, and nurture a greater control over their lives.

Healthy Aging Group Leaders lead workshops at various locations across the 11 cities and towns served by Mystic Valley Elder Services. They encourage interactive discussion, as well as socializing, idea sharing, and problem-solving among the participants. New leaders attend a two- to four-day Leader Training for the workshop(s) that they would like to facilitate. Ideal candidates for this role have strong communication, interpersonal and listening skills. Leaders should be comfortable teaching, facilitating group discussions and role playing. A leader is responsible for teaching the 6- to 8-week classes to participants in a community setting. Most importantly, the group leaders have fun!

Groups meet once per week for about 2 hours on weekdays, typically during the mornings.

Healthy Aging Program workshops at Mystic Valley Elder Services may include:

  • My Life, My Health Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP)
  • My Life, My Health Chronic Pain Self-Management
