Osher lifelong learning institute

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, the Center for Nonprofit Leadership and Management and the Resilience Solutions Group will partner with Interfaith Community Care to tap the trust and resonance of peers and share keys to community strengths among older adults. They will teach healthy older adults how to model resilience skills for their less robust peers. Echoing the paradigm shift from illness and losses associated with aging to a ‘successful aging’ perspective that emphasizes lifelong learning and compensation for losses, this project posits resilience as a set of skills that can be learned—and taught—by older adults.
