 Our project aims at developing a health promotion program for persons over 50 years of age in a rural area of Switzerland. The programs name is bliib gsund. This occupational-therapy directed health promotion program is conducted over a period of six months in two groups of eight persons each. The aim of the program is to enhance the quality of life of the participants, to mediate the competence of integrating health-promoting aspects in their daily life, and to maintain their independence in their life as long as possible. Persons over 50 often find themselves in a phase of transition in life, such as starting retirement, the loss of family members or children moving out. This program will provide them with the ability to continue their lifestyle in a more active way. It embraces topics such as more active pursuits of interests and carrying out personally meaningful activities.
