Key Objectives and Deliverables:

1. Assessment of Stress and Emotional Wellness Needs:

   • Use validated scales (e.g.,Psi decoupage technique for stress assessment) to identify triggers, anxiety, or emotional patterns.

2. Implementation of Stress Reduction and Emotional Wellness Techniques:

   • Develop a comprehensive toolkit for seniors, including mindfulness practices (breathing exercises, meditation), physical activity (walking, yoga), relaxation techniques ( Progressive Muscle Relaxation), and social engagement (peer support groups, community involvement).

3. Support Systems and Accessibility:

   • Train professionals to create accessible support systems, such as mobile apps for stress tracking (e.g., Headspace, Calm), peer support platforms, and scalable communication channels.

4. Sustainability and Scalability:

   • Organize for continuous engagement through regular follow-ups, quarterly check-ins, and scalable programs for ongoing stress management.

5. Quality Assurance and Accountability:

   • Hold professionals accountable through measurable metrics, such as a KPI metric of at least 30 minutes of daily stress-reducing activities or 70% adherence to a stress management plan.

6. Multi-Channel Engagement:

   • Utilize digital tools, in-person support, and community partnerships to ensure accessibility and adherence to the stress reduction plan.
