What’s Next? Planning Your Transition to Retirement.

Retiring from a career is a significant emotional and psychological adjustment for many.  This course will focus instead on emotional well-being during your retirement transition and next chapter.  Pat McCabe, M.S., M.Ed., will provide skills and resources for social-emotional development for soon-to-retire or newly-retired professionals. Enhance resilience and transition-coping skills, and establish new social connections with other course participants.

“Pat was patient and accepting of where we were on any given evening. This is a difficult subject; Pat created a thoughtful and welcoming space to explore it.” – 2024 participant
