Transitions Toward a Successful Adjustment

Transitions occur throughout the life cycle. The experience of aging is one of living with life-altering  experiences.  Successful aging and adaptation to new situations require coping with inevitable losses, accepting one’s new life positively and beginning again to create meaningful life. By taking a proactive approach, we can help the elderly achieve a successful adjustment to new life experiences. Participants will learn the effect that life transitions have on older adults. They will be able to identify individual coping responses and acquire the skills necessary to help elderly individuals successfully adjust to new life situations.
