Age & Opportunity Free Course - Changing Gears - in Cork this April and May

 Age & Opportunity is delighted to be offering Changing Gears in Cork for free this April and May.  Designed to boost wellbeing and resilience, it is a five-session in-person course funded by HSE Ireland that focuses on managing transitions in mid to later life.

Changing Gears offers participants (aged 50+) 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 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).

Venue: The Metropole, Cork

Dates: Thursdays 13, 20, 27 April and 4, 11 May 2023 

Times: 11 am – 1.00 pm 

To book your place on this programme, please e-mail Fiona at 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲@𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆.𝗶𝗲

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

Bookings will be made on a first come first served basis.
