About

In this pilot study, a pre-post experimental design will be used, in which 60 community dwelling adults aged 50+ will recruited from a larger parent study, and will then be randomized to either a no-contact control or intervention condition. Those in the intervention condition will receive a psychoeducational intervention in which they will receive scientific literature-based information on resilience and strategies to bolster resilience, as well as developing an individualized plan on areas to engage in at home over the next four weeks. All participants will return for an immediate posttest using an abbreviated version of the baseline battery from the parent study.
