The goal of this observational study is to determine whether the Count Me In Program (Participe-Présent in French), which focuses on the strengths and power to act of older adults, can improve social participation and psychosocial factors among older adults with loss of autonomy, as assessed by the following outcome measures: (1) loneliness; (2) depressive symptoms; (3) cognition; (4) frequency of participation in leisure activities; and (5) type of social participation.

Participants will attend seven weekly workshops in the Count Me In Program.
