Why there is a Tremendous Need for the SOARING Into Positive Wellbeing workshop initiative: Soaringwords is leading the way to create a new paradigm of Positive Aging:
In many parts of the world, life expectancy has increased, while the quality of life for seniors has diminished. This trend is especially visible in Western cultures with prevalent disparaging attitudes about aging and an obsession with youth. Stereotype Embodiment Theory, (Levy) Stereotype Embodiment Theory proposes that negative age beliefs bring about detrimental health effects, misleadingly characterized as inevitable consequences of aging. Common negative tropes include: incompetent, senile, decrepit, slow, and out of touch. Positive age beliefs add 7.5 years of life. Soaringwords Appreciative Inquiry workshop prompts and content ignites group discussions that foster strengths-based recognition, agency, resilience, and social interaction.
Soaringwords is dedicated to transforming the way our society views aging by introducing positive psychology interventions into long-term care settings. We focus on empowering seniors and caregivers with tools to promote mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Our workshops are designed to counter the negative stereotypes associated with aging and offer seniors the opportunity to live more fulfilling lives despite the challenges they face.
Soaringwords approach is built on a strong foundation of positive psychology, appreciative inquiry, and posttraumatic growth. These approaches focus on practices that bring out the best in individuals and help to enliven those facing the natural limitations of aging. Soaringwords empirically-based immersive 7-part workshop series is built on positive psychology interventions designed for older individuals residing in long-term care who have traditionally been overlooked.
The 7 workshop sessions are delivered in person to groups of 15 to 30 residents in long-term care, and also shared with groups of employees working in long-term care. Each session lasts from 60-90 minutes with pre-recorded professional video content interspersed with many immersive appreciative inquiry prompts. The seven topics are taken from the SOARING Into Positive Wellbeing Model .
