About National Silver Academy (NSA)
The National Silver Academy (NSA) is a network of post-secondary education institutions (PSEIs) (i.e. ITE, polytechnics, universities and arts institutions) and community-based organisations that offer learning opportunities that are subsidised for seniors. Seniors and PRs aged 50 years and above can look forward to attending short courses and bite-sized courses that are exam free. For courses run by community-based organisations, the final fee payable – for both Singaporean and Permanent Resident seniors – takes into account the support given by the government to community-based organisations to develop and offer the short courses.

| Objective | This course aims to help third agers: • Identify the causes and value of anger and anxiety • Manage your emotions during this stress incidence • Apply different techniques and strategies to dissipate your anger and anxiety triggers |
| Description | Third agers retiring in the city are both angry and anxious. They enter into a new phase of life with trepidation – a loss of self-esteem with no jobs, empty nest syndrome and deterioration in health. With limited finance and resources in a small but crowded city, anger and stress are lurking dangerously around many corners. The cost of anger and anxiety lost in personal welfare and relationship are getting higher every year. Don’t let anger and anxiety grow in a Frankenstein and hijack your life. You can equip yourself with the latest techniques to combat and dissipate your anger and anxiety. |
