It highlights the significant increase in the older population in Canada and the challenges they encounter in maintaining social connections due to factors such as ageism, mobility issues, and the digital divide. The authors describe how a group of researchers and individuals living with dementia utilized participatory action research to create an online community that fosters social engagement and advocacy, emphasizing strategies that center on individual strengths, manage diversity in digital engagement, and leverage local support systems. The findings underscore the importance of a strengths-based approach to enhance social capital and community ties among older adults in digital spaces. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
