Lauri, who lives on the New York-Vermont border, discovered GetSetUp a few months ago through her news feed on Facebook. She remembers seeing it and thinking, “Oh, that looks interesting.”
What started as curiosity soon turned into an essential part of her daily life. Thanks to a partnership with the New York State Office of the Aging (NYSOFA), Lauri has been able to access a variety of classes that are helping her recover from a stroke and cope with depression.
“I had a stroke and some medical issues, and I’ve been really depressed. GetSetUp got me interested in life again,” she explained.
Lauri has already completed about 50 classes, finding joy in many areas.
“I really love the whole program; there is so much to choose from,” she said. One of her favorite instructors is Deana, who inspired her to explore art through Zentangles.
“Deana got me interested in the Zentangles, and I plan to get some supplies and start with watercolors and different painting classes,” she shared.
The artistic classes have sparked a new enthusiasm in her.
“For me, GetSetUp helps me come back from a really stressful mess and get my mind on something else, getting out of my depression a little bit.”
One of the features Lauri appreciates most about GetSetUp is its flexibility.
“I really love that if I don’t make it, I can still go in and watch the classes later,” she said.
This flexibility is crucial for her as she continues to recover. Sometimes, memory is a challenge due to her stroke, but the ability to rewatch sessions has been invaluable.
“I watched the sepsis class, and it was really informative. It’s hard to remember everything because of my stroke, so I go back and watch them again.”
Lauri’s background is diverse. She spent many years as a nurse, worked as a school nurse, and even pursued photography at a racetrack, working for NASCAR for a year. Despite her experiences, she finds GetSetUp to be an exciting new chapter in her lifelong journey of learning.
“This is my first virtual program, and it’s been a great experience,” she said.
Learning Technology To Be A Resource To Others
Technology classes have also caught Lauri’s interest.
“I’m into technology, so I really like Wade’s classes,” she said.
She’s learned practical skills like how to be safer online, which she finds particularly important at her age.
“I learned a lot about Gmail and how to stay safe online, which is really important since I’m 75. There are so many scammers out there,” she noted.
Living in a building with 20 apartments, she’s often the go-to person for fixing phones and tech issues, and the tech classes help her improve those skills. She attends the GetSetUp classes through her phone so that’s one more touch point for her to learn even more to help others in her building.
Lauri stays active by walking a couple of miles a day. She’s looking forward to exploring GetSetUp’s nutrition courses to support her overall health.
“I walk a couple of miles every day, but I plan to get into the nutrition classes,” she mentioned.
Lauri loves the independence that GetSetUp provides.
“It’s right there, I don’t have to wait for someone to show up—it’s there when I need it, and I can do it on my schedule,” she explained.
The ability to choose classes that fit her interests has been a big part of her healing. From art to technology, she’s been able to focus on activities that lift her spirits.
She hopes to see even more offerings in the future, particularly classes on topics like hospice, end-of-life decisions, and substance abuse, which she feels would benefit many people.
“I live in a tiny town, and even here, drugs are crazy—it affects all age groups,” she said.
Overall, Lauri is deeply grateful for the opportunity to use GetSetUp through the partnership with NYSOFA.
“It’s a great program, and I really love it,” she said.
For Lauri, GetSetUp isn’t just about learning new skills; it’s about regaining her life and finding hope for the future.
