What makes a workplace age-friendly? In the NDPHS podcast’s “Tune in Health” sub-series “SAFE and Sound: Workplaces for All Ages”, we focus on different aspects of career management and attitudes to all ages. Together with Liisa Nuutinen and Heini Maisala-McDonnell from Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, and Antti Harjuoja, CEO from NextMile, we share success stories, and explore how to boost job opportunities for individuals aged 55+.

This podcast is part of Interreg Central Baltic funded project SAFE – Solutions for Age-Friendly Employer.

The Arts on Prescription (AoP) concept is that people dealing with mild to moderate mental health problems such as stress, anxiety or depression as well as those at risk of developing such conditions get a prescription not for medicine or therapy, but for taking part in art activities. This has been proven to have positive health effects and to improve mental well-being.
