This edited volume will address the ways in which seniors bounce back from different types and combinations of adversity – termed “resilience”. While research has been accumulating that identifies inherent abilities and external resources needed to adapt and navigate stress-inducing experiences among aging and older adults, gaps remain in understanding the unique elements and processes of resilience. A series of chapters included in this book will address several overarching questions: why do some older individuals\/families\/communities adapt to adversity better than others; what are modifiable behavioral protective\/risk factors related to resilience; and how can we foster resilience at the individual\/community level and which approaches show the most promise? The spectrum of aging-related challenges and responses addressed in this book include: mental health; physical\/functional healthproblems; multimorbidity; socio-economic deprivation; social isolation and loneliness; cultural dimensions of loneliness; housing\/homelessness problems; and environmental disasters. This book presents cutting-edge science at the conceptual, methodological, empirical and practice levels applied to emerging resilience sub-fields in gerontology. It will also present potential areas of future research, policy and practice linked to these areas. During a period of the most rapid population aging in the US, Canada and many other nations, coupled with heightened global socio-political change, extending our knowledge of resilience will help society to make important adjustments to maximize health and wellness of older individuals. Supporting and enhancing resilience through technological, social and\/or community-level advances in geroscience will help those facing adversity to thrive by harnessing, stretching, and leveraging a wide array of potential resources. The promotion of healthier older populations has far-reaching consequences for health care and social\/community support systems, both in terms of public health including pandemic response, and the development and implementation of innovations in treatment and practice guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52915066896663,"sku":null,"price":17479.59,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9783030570897.jpg?v=1781525821","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/products\/resilience-and-aging-9783030570897","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
