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.
