Conference: Tools for well-being throughout life. The programme " Getting to know emotions".

During this day we will address the importance of developing psychological resources for emotional management in order to promote good ageing.

"Getting to know emotions" was co-designed with older people, tested, validated and implemented in three editions in the Espacios +60 of Afundación, in collaboration with the Matia Institute.

After this trajectory, and with the empirical evidence of its impact on the well-being of the participants, we want to share the lessons learned and the methodology with other social entities, especially those linked to the promotion of active and healthy ageing.

We would also like to extend an invitation to interested organisations to join this initiative with our support.
