Dublin. Designed to boost wellbeing and resilience for those aged 50+ years\, it is a five-session course which focuses on managing transitions in mid to later life. \nDo you want to discover more about yourself and your capacity to meet different challenges? Would you like to take stock of your skills and experiences and plan your next steps in life? \nWhat is Changing Gears?\nChanging 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. \nHow does it work?\nChanging Gears offers participants time to: \n\nDevelop skills and techniques to build resilience and confidence in managing life-changes or transitions.\nReframe transitions in their lives as opportunities with positive options\, challenging negative stereotypes about ageing.\n\nThe course 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. \nHow can I get involved?\nThis course is delivered in 2 ½ -hour sessions once a week over 5 weeks. \nVenue:         Lucan Library\, Unit 33\, Lucan Shopping Centre\, Newcastle Rd\, Esker South\, Lucan\, Co.
