The Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) announced on Thursday that older residents in the state have the opportunity for free access to a variety of health and technology–focused classes through the “GetSetUp” digital platform.
WDH Aging Division Community Health Section Manager Jeff Clark said that GetSetUp is a digital platform that aims to help older adults navigate digital environments, combat social isolation and live more connected lives.
“We want to encourage our older residents to regularly engage with technology for social, informational and medical reasons,” Clark said. “We want them to learn new things, meet new people and unlock new life experiences.”
The WDH said that the GetSetUp platform offers over 2,000 live interactive classes on a range of subject areas. The virtual classes are taught by older adults and over 500 are available on a weekly basis.
“Continual learning is healthy for all of us,” Clark said. “The internet is a part of everyday life. It’s important that older adults feel safe and comfortable online. The classes this program offers will help do just that.”
Examples of class topics offered through GetSetUp include:
• Digital Divide: Learn how to use digital devices and access critical digital services (e.g., Zoom, Gmail, smartphones, online health, etc.).
• Physical Health: Classes include healthy cooking and evidence-based classes such as TaiChi, QiGong, and line dancing.
• Mental Health Classes: Classes available on dementia, caring for loved ones with dementia, stress reduction and even chair meditation.
• Social Health: These are interest groups hosted by fellow community members with topics ranging from gardening to travel to pets.
• Vocational Health: Help for older adults to re-skill and re-enter the workforce with classes such as PowerPoint, Word, LinkedIn profiles, and how to build websites. WDH
The WDH Aging Division’s partnership with GetSetUp ensures that the classes are free for Wyoming residents. People can use the coupon code “Wyoming” when booking classes online in order to avoid fees. People can register for classes online here: www.getsetup.io/partner/wyoming.
