Older Women: Current and Future Challenges of Professionals with an Aging Population
Older Women: Current and Future Challenges of Professionals With An Aging Population is about older women and the unique challenges they face now and in coming decades. Elderly women face problems that require response from multiple service providers in the social welfare, health care and legal sectors. Due to the complexity of the various issues and the multi-systemic responses required to address these problems among diverse groups, an interdisciplinary perspective in a multicultural context needs to be examined. This book is an attempt to explain the multidisciplinary facets of social work with elderly women. Readers are also introduced to the ethical issues and challenges caused by economic disparities and are also provided with guidelines on potential responses and intervention strategies to such difficulties. Readers are also introduced to the concept of cultural competence in terms of working with aged women. The integration of theory, research and practice in this book makes it a valuable resource for academicians and working professionals who are or will be in frequent contact with older adults.

While the exact form of institutional response will differ in relation to a country's political and economic structure, its culture and its tradition, the same general kinds of child welfare services have been developed 2 everywhere. Literature from the United States, Canada, and several Western European countries reflects a shared concern about children who reside in unplanned, substitute care arrangements and a growing recognition of the importance of 3 making permanent plans for these children. The American response to this problem took shape in the early 1970s when government at the local, st...
Aging in Spirit
Does God expect women who’ve lived faithfully most or all our lives to continue to grow in Christ as we age into our later decades? Absolutely! Not only does God want us to keep on maturing, but God provides the path to spiritual growth. God hardwired us to blossom into a new realm of spirituality as we age. Aging in Spirit provides a blueprint for developing the type of greater love, compassion, understanding, and acceptance that Jesus taught as we move into our elder years so we can continue to be the hands and feet of God until the end of our lives.
