Resilience-Based Intervention: Now Available for Licensing

The Stein Institute for Research on Aging is proud to offer our evidence-based Resilience Intervention, developed to enhance resilience, wisdom, compassion and self-compassion in older adults. Rooted in a decade of research,  this manualized program equips individuals with practical tools to strengthen resilience, manage stress, and maintain a sense of purpose—key components of healthy aging.

Why Resilience Matters

Resilience is a critical factor in healthy aging. Research shows that individuals with higher levels of resilience:

  • Live longer
  • Have stronger immune function
  • Experience better physical health
  • Report lower rates of depression and anxiety
  • Show greater life satisfaction and emotional stability

Building resilience isn’t just about bouncing back—it’s about cultivating long-term well-being, especially in the face of aging-related challenges. Our intervention offers a research-based path to achieving these outcomes.

Proven Across Settings and Cultures

The Resilience Intervention has been found effective in:

  • One-on-one and group formats
  • In-person and remote delivery models
  • Diverse settings, including clinics, senior centers, universities, and community programs 

It has been successfully tested and implemented in the United States, England, and Israel, demonstrating broad cultural relevance and adaptability.

Program Highlights

  • Evidenced based and published in peer-reviewed journals
  • Flexible and adaptable curriculum suitable for various delivery settings
  • Includes facilitator training, participant materials, and structured session guides
  • Designed for older adults but adaptable for broader adult populations
