Coaña City Council Launches Program to Promote Well-Being in Elderly Population
This month, the Coaña City Council has announced the launch of a new program called “Add well-being to your years”, aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing loneliness among older residents. The initiative, which will be implemented in the parishes of Coaña, Trelles, and Villacondide, will offer workshops led by a psychologist and a physiotherapist.
The workshops are designed to enhance physical, emotional, and social health among the elderly population, particularly in areas where social resources are lacking. According to officials from the Coaña town hall, the program aims to provide knowledge about healthy living while encouraging social interaction and communication among neighbors. The goal is to foster the development of support networks within the community.
The workshops will take place in the schools of Trelles and Villacondide on Wednesdays throughout May and June. Additionally, the council is considering organizing a transport service for participants based on demand.
The Department of Social Welfare within the council emphasizes the importance of improving the conditions of older individuals who may be experiencing social vulnerability due to loneliness. Registration for the workshops is currently open, and interested parties can sign up by calling 985473535.
This initiative is a step forward in promoting the well-being and quality of life for senior citizens in Coaña, demonstrating the council’s commitment to supporting the physical and emotional health of its elderly population.
