Help Your Clients Embrace Aging as a Season of Growth and Fulfillment With These Positive Aging Tools [PDF].

New research challenges the outdated narrative that aging is solely about decline. Instead, later life can be a time of growth, connection, and fulfillment—when approached with the right mindset and strategies.

These 17 exercises translate the latest findings in positive aging—a dynamic strengths-based approach—that transforms (later) life into a time of continued purpose, vitality, and self-discovery.

Each tool is designed to create a measurable impact in coaching sessions, therapy work, workshops, and group interventions.

  • These tools are simply great! The questions, reflections, and prompts were thought-provoking and each activity can help individuals who are dealing with retirement, empty-nesting, life after the loss of a significant other, and just general worries about their “golden years.”

    Susan Johnston | Educator

  • The Positive Aging Toolkit offers well-prepared tools specifically focusing on late life which is long overdue. It enables an active engagement with a topic that affects many and will affect even more people in the future.

    Moreover, many of the tools are equally applicable to other age groups or phases of transition and can create a positive image of ageing at an earlier stage in life. I would highly recommend applying the Positive Ageing Toolkit with clients to foster a proactive and growth-oriented approach to aging!
