Abstract Details

2021, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Counselor Education (Education).
As the older adult community increases, there will be a higher demand for counselor professionals who are prepared to serve the needs of the population. Within that cohort, the population of older adult Black women is rapidly increasing. In efforts to serve the unique cultural needs of the population, it will be imperative that counselor professionals are able to provide treatment and support that acknowledges the dense cultural history that shapes their identity. By exploring the cultural framework through the lens of Black feminist theory, counselor educators and professionals can glean greater awareness of how to accommodate older adult Black women in ways that promote mental health, wellness, and healthy aging within the population. This interpretative phenomenological analysis study will explore ways older adult Black women who identify with the Strong Black Woman schema make sense of the aging process while promoting their mental health and wellbeing.
