OVERVIEW:
Older adulthood can bring complex transitions—changes in health, roles, independence, and social networks—that increase vulnerability to depression and loneliness. This presentation reframes late-life mental wellness through the lens of resilience: the capacity to adapt to change and rebound from setbacks while maintaining stability and continuity. Participants will explore how resilience supports successful aging, with emphasis on meaning and purpose, agency, realistic hope (not “toxic positivity”), and sustained interpersonal connectedness. The session also addresses how ageism (including internalized stereotypes) can undermine mental health and engagement, and it offers practical, strengths-based strategies for clinicians and care teams to reduce isolation, identify burnout risks in caregivers, and promote possibility through achievable, values-aligned steps in daily life and care environments.
OBJECTIVES:
By attending this training, you will be able to:
1. Describe resilience and successful aging as clinical frameworks for mental wellness in aging.
2. Identify ageism-related risks that may worsen mood and withdrawal.
3. Explain at least two strategies to counter these risks in assessment and care planning.
AGENDA (all times are Eastern):
12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. Presentation
