The intervention will include up to 8 participants per group and involve 6 sessions that will be facilitated by an Occupational Therapist, Sessions will be conducted once a week and each session will be 2.5 hours in duration. Session will include content on adjusting to losses and changes; experiences of stopping driving; alternative transport; lifestyle planning; and advocacy and support.. Session content will be adapted to be relevant to the goals identified by group members and additional individual sessions will be considered if required for specific goals. Group sessions will be interactive and encourage information sharing, using peer leaders and guest speakers where appropriate. Practical outings will provide an opportunity to trial alternate transport methods, for example public transport, and this will be included within the designated weekly sessions. A record of attendance will be completed at each session.
