For older adults, wellness is multifaceted and rooted in healthy views about the aging process. However, societal ageism and narrow depictions of wellness that focus only on physical health interfere with the pursuit of holistic wellness as people age. In this thought-provoking presentation, participants will examine the role of ageism and other barriers to wellness and explore an eight-dimensional framework for whole-person wellness that has been applied with older adults across the country.

Participants in this webinar will be able to:

Describe the relationship between ageism and older adults’ pursuit of wellness.
Analyze a multidimensional framework for wellness in older adulthood.
Develop two strategies for reducing ageism and promoting whole-person wellness in one’s current professional role.

Presenter:
Matthew Fullen PhD, LPCC (OH), is an associate professor at Virginia Tech. His research, teaching, and advocacy focus on the mental health needs of older adults, with an emphasis on improving Medicare mental health policy and developing programs to enhance resilience and wellness and prevent suicide among older adults. Dr. Fullen has collaborated on more than $6 million in research grant funding to develop programs supporting older adults’ mental health.
