Free wellbeing course on managing transitions in mid to later life - Kilkenny Live

A free wellbeing course is currently on offer in Kilkenny that focuses on managing transitions in mid to later life.

Age & Opportunity is delighted to be offering Changing Gears in Kilkenny for free this April and May.

Designed to boost wellbeing and resilience, it is a five-session in-person course funded by the HSE and offers participants (aged 50+) time to develop skills and techniques to build resilience and confidence in managing life-changes or transitions.

The course also will encourage participants to 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).

The course will take place at the River Court Hotel on April 20 and 27 and May 4, 11 and 18 from 11am to 1pm.
