"Life story" approach shows older adults' resilience

Older adults have repeatedly been referred to as more physically vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic - but the pandemic is not just about becoming physically ill, write authors of a special article in the Journals of Gerontology. They use the "life story" approach, which highlights psychosocial strengths, to underscore that older are not just victims during this challenging time. It's worth a read, certainly as a conversation starter, and possibly to incorporate the life story approach into current programming, as a mood booster for residents, members and staff alike.
