A news release from the state says “GetSetUp” is a learning platform tailored for older adults to support active aging and independence. This collaboration aims to enhance mental, physical and social well-being in older Michigan residents to combat social isolation and provide opportunities for lifelong learning.
Through this partnership, Michigan residents aged 60 and older have free access to a catalog of more than 5,000 classes across 40 different categories. Over 1.5 million classes have been attended by Michiganders since the partnership began in 2020.
Class types include everything from digital literacy to health equity to mental and physical health.
