OIB-TAC April Webinar: Exploring Effective Models for Retreat Training

Join OIB-TAC tomorrow, April 25, 2025, at 2:00 CT, for our next webinar! Are you looking for an innovative and effective way to help older adults navigate their daily lives with confidence and independence while maximizing staff time and resources? Join us for an enlightening webinar focused on Retreat Training Programs specifically designed for OIB consumers.

Learn about three unique retreat-style programs: New Jersey's A Shore Thing, Virginia's Senior Retreat, and Wisconsin's Adventures in Vision Loss Program. Discover what these programs have in common and what sets them apart, including their implementation methods, duration, structure, and more!

We’ll discuss how each retreat helps participants build essential skills like orientation and mobility training, daily living techniques, effective communication, and social engagement strategies while providing opportunities for peer support. Resources for retreat programs in other states will also be shared. Gain inspiration and valuable information that can be adapted to create similar opportunities that meet your programming needs.

Some examples include healthcare workers, public transportation drivers, flight attendants, senior center workers, employees of nursing homes, restaurant workers, and many more!

With that said, we need your help promoting this course! To help with this, we have created a graphic that can be printed or copied on your agency’s flyers, website, or social media pages.
