來臺大擔任訪問學者。他將透過自己近年的研究與我們分享社會排除與公共參與對香港人晚年心理健康的影響。
本次演講摘要如下：
The phenomenon of rapid aging presents significant challenges to all societies. One of the key questions that arises is how to maintain good health as we age. Identifying factors that can be modified in the aging process is critical to understanding healthy aging and developing interventions and policies aimed at improving population health and well-being.
This lecture covers two studies that examine the impacts of social isolation and civic participation of promoting social connections and engagement in later life.
Specifically, the research indicated that social isolation has a negative impact on mental health outcomes. In contrast, civic participation can improve mental health by fostering greater life satisfaction and a sense of purpose. Implications for social work practice and programs are discussed to address social isolation and civic engagement to strengthen positive mental health in later life.
本演講將以中文進行，適時以英文進行補充說明。
Note. This lecture will be conducted using Mandarin, supplementing with English.
