“We all want to grow up well and as healthy as possible. We do not always have it in our own hands, but we can make a contribution ourselves. With the age-related leaving of the professional life begins a new phase of life, which changes much in the social environment, in family and leisure.

Now it is important to make oneself strong for the new phase of life – with “body and soul”. In addition to the development of a new daily structure, this also includes the right relationship in dealing with alcohol and medication. It does not require a lot of training – mindfulness for yourself and small steps are often enough.

“STAYING STRONG” is an offer for health promotion and addiction prevention of older people and a module of the state campaign “addiction always has a story”.”
