Age & Opportunity has announced it will be offering Changing Gears in Galway for free in late November and early December. Designed to boost wellbeing and resilience, it is a four-session in-person course funded by the HSE that focuses on managing transitions in mid to later life.
Aimed at those aged fifty-plus, Changing Gears offers participants time to develop skills and techniques to build resilience and confidence in managing life-changes or transitions; and reframe transitions in their lives as opportunities with positive options, challenging negative stereotypes about ageing.
The programme allows participants to reflect on challenges they have experienced in the past and life lessons they have learned. In this way, strategies for building resilience and managing change draw on personal experience to create a more positive and fulfilling future.
Sessions cover: life transitions (up to now ); building resilience (here and now ); and mapping the future (where to from here ).
Sessions will take place in The Connacht Hotel, Galway, on Thursday and Friday, November 24 and 25, and December 1 and 2, from 11am to 1pm.
To book your place e-mail Fiona at [email protected].
Note that participation requires attendance at each of the four sessions. Do not book a place if you cannot attend on all dates.
This programme is funded by the HSE and is free of charge.
Bookings will be taken on a first come, first served, basis. For further information seeageandopportunity.ie/changing-gears-course-offered-in-november
