Happy World Social Work Day - celebrating work to promote well-being across ages, throughout lifetimes, and over generations!
Happy World Social Work Day! This year’s theme, "Strengthening Intergenerational Solidarity for Enduring Wellbeing," highlights the importance of fostering bonds across generations. When we come together across generations, we ensure that progress is not short-sighted or limited to a specific demographic. It’s an investment in long-term wellbeing for all. Whether it’s through mentorship programs, community building, or simply having open dialogues, we can each play a role in strengthening these bonds. Let’s take this year to build bridges between the generations, support each other, and work collectively for a brighter, more sustainable future where everyone can thrive — regardless of age. Because when we stand together, our wellbeing is not just enduring; it is unstoppable. #IntergenerationalSolidarity #Wellbeing #CommunityStrength #GenerationalUnity #WorldSocialWorkDay

The Gerontologist's first special issue of 2025, "Redefining Successful Aging" is now available here: https://lnkd.in/gBGvzxn5! Guest edited by Dr. John W. Rowe, one of the architects of the highly influential theory/conceptualization of successful aging, this special issue revisits the key developments (and, in some instances, critiques) of successful aging over the past four decades. Highlights of this special issue include the consideration of humanistic artificial intelligence, successful aging in family caregiving science, considerations of environment and subjective aging, cultural/international variations in the concepts of and pathways to successful aging, innovative measurement approaches, and so much more. Please check out this special issue, which helps us reflect on how successful aging continues to be redefined to advance gerontological science and scholarship! #gerontology #innovation #successfulaging #agingwell #science #scholarship Chloe W., Amy Hwang, PhD, Lauren Bangerter, PhD, Dr Serena Sabatini, Cao Jiawei, Joshua C.J.
