    Can the Science of Wellbeing Enhance Aging for Older Adults with Serious Mental Health Conditions? w/ Lydia Ogden

    There is a growing body of research into the science of wellbeing, with well-supported theories and related interventions. Nonetheless, older adults with serious mental health conditions continue to face decreased rates of wellbeing, increased feelings of isolation and loneliness, and lower life satisfaction overall. Can the good news from the world of wellbeing change those negative outcomes? This presentation describes the development and delivery of a wellbeing course, designed with certified older adult peer specialists, and delivered to older adults in a psychosocial clubhouse. Findings around acceptability and feasibility in the clubhouse setting, challenges for ongoing research, and the wellbeing-enhancing context of a clubhouse, will be discussed. Lydia P. Ogden, PhD, MSW, LICSW is an Associate Professor at Salem State University School of Social Work and a Research Affiliate at Simmons University School of Social Work. Her research focuses on understanding the lives and potential of older adults living with serious mental health conditions. To that end, she has collected and analyzed life history narratives from this population, using findings to amplify their voices within scholarly literature and make recommendations for social work practice and policy grounded in lived experiences.

    Episode 2_"Old Before Their Time", with Michelle R. Zechner PhD.

    People living with serious mental health conditions (SMHC) are more likely to have long-term health issues at a younger age. While much is known about the health risks in this population, we don't understand as much about how aging affects everyday activities like walking up steps or bending over. This webinar will present results of a recent study which found that middle-aged adults with SMHC had physical functioning similar to that of much older people. Declining physical abilities can affect everyday life skills, independence, housing, work options, and personal goals. This presentation will discuss findings and over practical recommendations for interventions and policies. Michelle R. Zechner, PhD, LSW, CPRP is an Associate Professor at Rutgers School of Health Professions in the Dept. of Psychiatric Rehabilitation and Counseling Professions. Her research focuses on multi-dimensional wellness interventions and inter-professional initiatives to improve health outcomes for people with mental health conditions. She develops multi-platform educational content for various workforce development initiatives and is passionate about mental health recovery and aging well for all people.

It presents a recent, relevant research study in clear, understandable language, with time for you to ask questions. This presentation will discuss the needs of older adults who have serious mental health issues and the way that we're working to help them in their communities. We'll discuss a program we've developed to improve their health and social skills. We'll also look at the different ways we've tried to make this program work, what's been successful, and what hasn't.
