The Aging Mastery Program® (AMP) is a comprehensive and fun approach to aging well that encourages adults age 55+ to take actions to enhance their health, financial well-being, social connectedness, and overall quality of life. Central to the AMP philosophy is the belief that modest lifestyle changes can produce big results and that people can be empowered and supported to cultivate health and longevity. The core curriculum covers ten topics:

• Navigating Longer Lives: The Basics of Aging Mastery
• Exercise and You
• Sleep
• Healthy Eating and Hydration
• Financial Fitness
• Advance Planning
• Healthy Relationships
• Medication Management
• Community Engagement
• Falls Prevention

Classes meet on eleven Mondays, July 12 through September 27 , 2021 from 10AM-12PM, MDT. No class on September 6. The National Council on Aging requires participants to attend 7 out of the 10 classes listed above to graduate from the program. If you are unable to attend at least seven of the classes, please reconsider registering for this program as seats are limited. Participation is online using Zoom. Pre-registration is required and is first come, first served. An email confirmation with the Zoom meeting ID, password and instructions will be sent to registered participants prior to the class starting date.

While AMP utilizes a number of different guest speakers on the various topics, the facilitator is the backbone of the program. Teresa Sacks, AMP Facilitator at MAS, presents the program. For more information or help registering, contact Missoula Aging Services at (406) 728-7682. You can also visit the MAS website.

Special thanks to the Jane S. Heman Foundation for their generous financial support of this class. There is no cost to Montana residents who graduate from the class.
