Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Cog-Fun Aging program helps older adults with Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) manage memory challenges and improve their daily lives. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the program help participants better understand their cognitive challenges in daily life? * Do participants report using more effective strategies to manage their memory difficulties? * Does the Cog-Fun Aging program reduce negative emotions and self-perceptions related to SCD? Researchers will compare participants who complete the Cog-Fun Aging program with those who do not to determine the program's effectiveness. Participants will: Take part in a 10-week program with weekly sessions. Learn about SCD and how it affects daily life. Practice and monitor strategies to manage memory difficulties.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Cog Fun Ageing intervention	Cog Fun Aging is a group-based intervention aimed at promoting positive occupational experiences despite cognitive challenges in day to day life. The intervention includes 10 weekly 120-minute group sessions led by experienced occupational therapists. Sessions incorporate learning about the bio-psycho-social factors of SCD and strategies to manage and cope with occupational challenges resulting from SCD.
OTHER	Cog-Fun Aging Crossover	In the initial phase of the study (between T0 and T1) this group will receive "usual care". Participants are users of regional services where activities for healthy older adults are available. This group will continue going to activities as normal during the initial phase and then participate in the Cog-Fun Aging intervention.
