The Age With Confidence Course
The Age With Confidence Course will help you gain an understanding of your body and brain, the changes you can expect in them, and how to manage or mitigate these changes as you age beyond 50 years. Each of the twelve 60-90 minute sessions is dedicated to one particular facet of the aging process. The accompanying workbook has room for notes and serves as a permanent reference for future use. The course is live via Zoom and time is allotted for questions and interactions with your classmates at the end of each session. The course runs consecutively; at the end of the Session 12 it will start again at Session 1, enabling you to catch any session you may have missed, or sit through a session you found particularly interesting for a second time.
