This document discusses resilience in older adulthood. It defines resilience as successfully coping with adversity through protective factors. Resilience involves a balance between stress and coping abilities and is influenced by biological, psychological, social, and spiritual characteristics. It also changes over time and with life experiences and transitions. The document reviews themes of resilience and outlines interventions that can promote resilience in older adults like identifying their strengths and social support networks. It provides examples of resilience through two case studies and references measures of resilience like the Resilience Scale.
This is a presentation for student nurses helping them to learn ways to live stress free during nursing school and carry those techniques to their future profession as nurses.
Mental health is a level of psychological well-being, or an absence of a mental disorder; it is the "psychological state of someone who is functioning at a satisfactory level of emotional and behavioral adjustment".
Psychological resilience is defined as an individual's ability to properly adapt to stress and adversity. Stress and adversity can come in the shape of family or relationship problems, health problems, or workplace and financial worries, among others.

Suicide in adolescents and young adults has become a public educational and health priority. In this paper, various conceptual questions about suicide are presented, and the protective factors that are associated with suicidal behavior in this population are considered. An overview is provided, based on a review of the studies, on the aspects of resilience that should be promoted to eliminate the negative impact of the adverse situations that arise for young people. Furthermore, we develop guidelines for
building resilience, actions that have been proven effective in combating suicide attempts and completed suicide in adolescents and young adults. We produce a profile that includes all of the aforementioned protective aspects that must be taken into account when developing a comprehensive analysis in the context of the quality of life and emotional well-being of this group.

Speaker: Ms Juliet Houghton – Country Director CHIVA South Africa
Risk activities in adolescents are a pervasive and costly problem for all societies, despite many efforts to reduce or prevent these through diverse intervention programmes. This presentation seeks to unpack what the leading adolescent risk behaviours are, why these occur, and what strategies have been successfully tried and tested to mitigate negative behaviours.
Through the examination of strategies to build resilience in young people (historically an educational intervention), Ms Houghton will argue that by shifting our focus from ‘negative’ aspects of risk and focusing on skills development opportunities with young people, young people will be better able to manage their lives, including risk situations.
Examples will be drawn primarily from an HIV/sexual health perspective for the purpose of discussion and debate. Participants will be encouraged to share experiences of successes and challenges.

Those people who are familiar with our work know that we write quite a lot about the pace of change in our global business environment. It is continual, it is unrelenting, and it appears to be accelerating.
We cannot slow the pace of change, so do we give up? Throw our hands up and succumb to the tidal wave of knowledge that we are adrift and rudderless? And if not, what can we do to make our people and our organizations more resilient in the face of this ongoing pressure?
"Resilience: an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change."
- Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Within the microsystem, family exists as a key component to understanding the adolescent growth and development process. Family influences adolescents’ thoughts, behaviors, attitudes and views toward life. The family system represents the members of a family, who function interdependently, while focusing on maintaining balance and influencing each other equally. Maintaining balance within the family system is essential to the family’s functioning. Families learn to function through their family life cycles, or progressive stages of development. During the stages of development, families adapt to specific developmental tasks that prepare them for future stages (McWhirter, McWhirter, McWhirter & McWhirter, 2017). Undergoing changes, challenges and crises are inevitable as families transition through the family life cycle. The family’s ability to continue to propel forward amid the changes, challenges and crises speaks to the family’s resiliency. A family’s resiliency may be strengthened by protective factors or may be weakened by risk factors.
In the lives of adolescents, protective factors are characteristics that occur to build resilience and lessen the chances of unhealthy growth and development. Youth who experience positive parent-child relationships display resiliency. Research indicates that of all the factors that build resilience, good parenting is most important. Possessing a supportive, consistent primary caregiver is a significant factor in youth’s development (Weir, 2017). Additionally, youth who display a healthy concept of self, a strong cultural identity and a firm belief/value system, while experiencing success at school, economic stability and strong social supports, exhibit resilience through the stages of life. Outside of the family system, social supports within the community work to build resilience. Strong social supports act as a buffer for adolescents facing trouble and stress. Adolescents with greater social support will be less likely to become depressed than those with less support (Camara, Bacigalupe & Padilla, 2017). Therefore, youth’s resilience depends upon their ability to draw from many resources. These resources or protective factors serve as interventions to point youth down a promising path (Weir, 2017).
Opposite of protective factors are risk factors, which serve to weaken adolescents’ chances of healthy growth and development. Risk factors contribute to problematic outcomes in the lives of youth. Youth who experience a negative family environment, such as physical crowding, a lack of supervision, poor parenting, divorce, substance abuse and domestic violence are less likely to exhibit resilience during the stages of life. Instead, th ...

Positive Social Change
Name: Christabel Ekechukwu
Institution: Walden University
Date: 11/05/2016
Walden makes the implication that in order for social change to exist, there must be pragmatic efforts to cause the intended change, whether by taking action as an individual or as group. Therefore, in the effort to create environment and living conditions that produce a society of happy, healthy people, actions must support and reinforce environmental health and enable people to adopt and maintain healthy relationship with their environment for the sake of happiness and well-being of others and the sustainability of the environment. As a conservation psychologist, I endeavor to promote positive social change through encouraging a healthy and sustainable relationship between human and nature.
Typically, comprehending and promoting the linkage between humans and the natural world greatly boost sustainable behaviors such as recycling and hence, reinforcing on environmental development and sustainability. Ideally, I chose the role of the conservation psychologist due to the fact that, people are interwoven and inseparable with the natural ecosystem. It is imperative to understand the way people experience, think about, and relate with nature in order to promote environmental sustainability and human well-being.
In my course of advocating for healthy environment and human well-being, I do not concentrate on creating small behavior changes rather, I desire for people to re-evaluate, rethink and prioritize their relationship with nature. I educate people to develop positive attitude towards environment. They need to affirm their identities and push for protection of nature and be the steward own valued places. People need to be courageous to correct their own values, systems and lifestyle through self-validation and system justification by advocating for conservation of environment, and encouraging people to participate actively, I help them understand the complex sources of environmental attitudes and behavior. Paradoxically, encouraging human well-being and ignoring on the threats to the natural environment, lead to depletion of resources, which later people complain of the adverse effects. In this regard, I encourage people to establish a connection with the environment to represent a positive image of oneself. For instance, tendering a beautiful.
At an individual level, a person has to develop profound connections with natural environment. Of course, an individual loves some natural entity like a tree, an animal or a lake. This implies that the human connection to nature is an integral part of human existence. When a person has strong connection to the environment, he/she will be able to champion for it preservation and will not be bound by structured public policies that propagate indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources (Clayton, and Myers, 2015; Roth and Sweatt, 2011). Indeed, social structure often determine how ...

Discussion: Perspectives on the Aging Process
You may be familiar with the phrases, “You’re only as old as you feel” and “age is nothing but a number.” To what extent do you believe these common sayings? Do you see yourself as younger or older than your biological age? And what are your views on the aging process—is it something to be avoided and feared, or celebrated?
As individuals grow older, they experience biological changes, but how they experience those changes varies considerably. Someone who is particularly fit at 70, for example, might perceive themselves to be in their 50s. And someone who has dealt with significant hardship and ailing health who is 70 might feel like they are in their 80s. Aging adults’ experiences are influenced not only by how they feel but also by how an older adult should look or should act, according to societal norms and stereotypes.
In this Discussion you examine biological aspects of later adulthood, and how these aspects intersect with psychological and social domains. You also consider your own views on aging and how they might impact your work with older clients.
To Prepare:
· Review the Learning Resources on biological aspects of later adulthood and the aging process. Identify the biological changes that occur at this life stage.
· Consider your thoughts and experiences related to the aging process and people who are in later adulthood.
By 01/06/2021
Respond to two colleagues by describing additional ways in which their perspectives might impact work with older adults.
Use the Learning Resources to support your posts. Make sure to provide APA citations and a reference list.

Chapter Summary The following summarizes this chapter’s content as it relates to the learning objectives presented at the beginning of the chapter. Chapter content will help prepare students to:
LO 1 Define later adulthood. Later adulthood begins at around age 65. This grouping is an extremely diverse one, spanning an age range of more than 30 years.
LO 2 Describe the physiological and mental changes that occur in later adulthood. Later adulthood is an age of recompense, a time when people reap the consequences of the kind of
life they have lived. The process of aging affects dif-ferent persons at different rates. Nature appears to have a built-in mechanism that promotes aging, but it is not known what this mechanism is.
LO 3 Understand contemporary theories on the causes of the aging process. Theories on the causes of aging can be grouped into three categories: genetic theories, nongenetic cellular theories, and physiological theories. Various factors accelerate the aging process: poor
diet, overwork, alcohol or drug abuse, prolonged i ...
