Learn, Celebrate, and Be Grateful This November with GetSetUp

November arrives with a particular kind of warmth. Days grow shorter, the season turns toward gratitude and gathering, and some of the year's most important health and wellness topics come into focus. This month asks us to slow down, pay attention, and take care of our bodies, our minds, our finances, and the people we love.

At GetSetUp, we have built a full month of learning around exactly that. This November's series spans health, creativity, financial planning, digital literacy, and holiday celebration, each one designed to meet you where you are and give you something real and useful to take into your daily life.

Here is everything waiting for you this month.

Take Control of Your Health: Diabetes Management

November is a meaningful month to focus on one of the most prevalent health challenges facing older adults across the country: diabetes. Whether you are living with a diagnosis, working to prevent one, or supporting a loved one on their health journey, our Diabetes Management series gives you the practical, approachable tools to make a real difference.

Through these classes, you will explore nutrition strategies that support steady blood sugar without requiring a complete overhaul of the way you eat, movement and activity tips designed to fit your real lifestyle, and simple healthy habits that add up to meaningful change over time. The goal is not perfection; it is progress. Small, sustainable steps that help you feel more energized, more balanced, and more in control of your own well-being.

Diabetes affects millions of older adults across the United States, and the good news is that lifestyle choices have a profound impact on both prevention and management. This series translates that science into something you can actually use starting today.‍

Protect Your Brain: Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness 🧠

From physical health to the health of your most vital organ your brain. In honor of Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month, GetSetUp's dedicated series offers clear, compassionate guidance on one of the most important topics in healthy aging.

Our Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness series explores simple, evidence-informed habits to keep your mind sharp and engaged, a straightforward look at what Alzheimer's disease and dementia actually are and how they progress, and practical ways to support a loved one navigating memory challenges. Whether you are personally affected by this issue or simply want to be more informed and prepared, these classes offer something genuinely valuable.

Brain health is not a topic to approach with fear; it is one to approach with knowledge, intention, and community. That's exactly what this series provides. Because the more we understand, the better equipped we are to protect ourselves and show up for the people we care about most.

For the People Who Give Everything: Caring for Caregivers

While we talk about supporting loved ones, one group often goes unseen and underserved the caregivers themselves.

If you spend your days caring for a parent, spouse, sibling, or friend, you already know how much of yourself you give. Our Caring for Caregivers series exists specifically for you. It is a warm, welcoming space to step away from your role for a little while, connect with a community of people who truly understand what you are going through, learn something new, and yes laugh a little.

Caregiver burnout is real. So is caregiver isolation. This series addresses both by offering something simple and profound: time and space that belongs entirely to you. You spend your days caring for others. For these classes, let us return the favor.

Celebrate the Season: Thankful Through Art

With so much meaningful content focused on health and well-being, it is equally important to make space for something joyful, and our Thankful Through Art series does exactly that.

This creative, festive series invites you to express gratitude through making, whether that means exploring fall-inspired art projects, trying your hand at seasonal crafts, experimenting with creative cooking, or discovering a new hands-on activity that brings you genuine happiness. The theme throughout is gratitude: for the season, for the people in your life, and for the simple act of creating something with your own hands.

No experience is needed and no supplies list will leave you overwhelmed. Just bring your imagination, your curiosity, and your willingness to try. From coast to coast, across every community GetSetUp serves, this series is an open invitation to slow down and celebrate what this season truly means.

Make Smart Healthcare Decisions: Medicare Resources

November is also one of the most financially consequential months of the year for older adults because Medicare Open Enrollment is underway. The plan you choose during this period will shape your healthcare access and costs for the entire year ahead. That makes it worth getting right.

Our Medicare Resources series is designed to remove the confusion and stress of the Open Enrollment process. You will learn how to compare plan options clearly and confidently, understand what your current coverage actually includes, navigate the key dates and deadlines that matter most, and find the plan that genuinely fits your health needs and your budget.

Whether you are enrolling in Medicare for the first time or have been through the process before but want to make sure you are not leaving better options on the table, this series gives you the clarity to act with confidence. Open Enrollment only comes once a year, and this series makes sure you are ready.

Understand the Future and Stay Safe in It: AI Made Simple

As you navigate Open Enrollment and make important decisions online, one skill has never been more valuable: understanding artificial intelligence and knowing how to use it safely.

In recognition of Fraud Awareness Week (November 15–21), our Artificial Intelligence (AI) Made Simple series does two things at once: it opens the door to one of the most exciting and useful technologies of our time, and it equips you to recognize and avoid the AI-related scams and fraud that are increasingly targeting older adults.

These classes start at the very beginning no technical background required and walk you through what AI actually is, how tools like Google Gemini and others work in everyday life, and how to approach this technology with curiosity rather than fear. You will come away understanding not just how to use AI, but how to do so safely, thoughtfully, and on your own terms.
