Older adults commonly experience mobility challenges, diminished well-being, and strong negative emotions\u2014including grief, frustration, and loss of identity\u2014when they stop driving. The dual process model of coping with bereavement offers a useful framework for understanding this transition, as it distinguishes between loss-oriented stressors (emotional reactions to giving up driving) and restoration-oriented stressors (adapting to new daily routines). This study examined the applicability of this model within a workshop-based intervention designed to support older adults in planning for and coping with driving retirement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Research Design and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>25 participants completed an evaluation of an evidence-informed, 3-hr workshop addressing emotional, practical, and mobility-related aspects of the transition, through surveys before, 1 week after, and 6 weeks after the intervention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Content analysis of free-text responses revealed that participants\u2019 experiences aligned strongly with the dual process model. Immediately after the workshop, participants reported reduced grief and practical concerns, increased consideration of alternative transport options, and greater validation of their emotional responses. Over time, many participants began trialing new mobility strategies and demonstrated shifts in perspective, indicating movement toward restoration-oriented coping.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion and Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings suggest that structured, psychologically informed interventions can support healthier adjustment to driving retirement.
