Promoting Mental Health Equity as We Age Through Trauma and Resilience Lenses
Trauma-informed care and resilience are emerging as important paradigms to address the pervasiveness of psychological challenges across the life cycle and their association to mitigate significant adverse mental health consequences for older adults. To achieve mental health equity, in which all people have the opportunity for better mental and physical wellbeing, it is crucial that we promote psychological resilience as a key factor in improving mental health outcomes and attenuating psychosocial trauma in older adults, especially those from marginalized communities.
