Navigating Later Life Changes
Age is often understood as a number that says what part of our life we are in, but also includes changes to our mobility, thinking, and relationships with others. We discuss the rewards to be found in life transitions, and how you can grow through potential challenges.
Thinking About Work and Retirement
Some of us impatiently wait for retirement, while others are eager to remain workers for the benefits, community, and feeling of purpose. Even though older workers have unique skills to bring to the workforce, ageist attitudes and inaccessible workplaces can shut us out.
Learn how occupational therapists can support us to stay working, manage changing worker roles, or plan for a successful retirement.
Participating In The Community
Our idea of ‘home’ can change throughout our lives but always includes our communities. From driving to living conditions and activism, these modules explore the barriers that may keep some of us from participating in the community, guided by stories from our peers who have navigated these changes.
Staying Connected as Roles and Relationships Change
As we age, our social connections change, offering new rewards and challenges. Occupational therapists can help us stay connected, and seek fulfilment through relationships and meaningful activities.
Managing Changing Health Status
Many of us experience changes to our health and mobility as we age, which can make participating in meaningful activities difficult.
Occupational therapists can help us manage these changes so we can enjoy later life opportunities for personal growth and appreciating our life’s journey.
