Age & Opportunity is delighted to be offering Changing Gears in person this September and October in The Model Arts Centre, Sligo. Designed to boost wellbeing and resilience for those aged 50+ years, it is a four session course which focuses on managing transitions in mid to later life.
Do you want to discover more about yourself and your capacity to meet different challenges? Take stock of your skills and experiences and plan your next steps in life?
What is Changing Gears?
Changing Gears supports people in dealing with transitions or significant life-challenges in mid to later life. It focuses on how we can build resilience, take stock, make changes, and bounce forward in life.
How does it work?
Changing Gears offers participants time to:
• Develop skills and techniques to build resilience and confidence in managing life-changes or transitions.
• Reframe transitions in their lives as opportunities with positive options, challenging negative stereotypes about ageing.
The programme invites 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 lay the foundations for a more positive and fulfilling future.
How can I get involved?
This course is delivered in 2.5 hour sessions once a week over 4 weeks.
Venue: The Model, The Mall, Sligo, F91 TP20
Dates: Tuesdays 19th & 26th September, 3rd & 10th October
Times: 11:15 am – 1:45 pm (which includes a comfort break with tea and coffee)

Please note that this programme has been funded by the HSE and is free of charge. Participation requires attendance at each of the four sessions (please do not book a place if you cannot attend on these dates).
