dc.description.abstractThis capstone aimed to enhance the reader's comprehension of the aging process, and the complexities involved in maintaining positive subjective well-being, shedding light on the perspective of older adults and elucidating the varying degrees of mental health. Aging does not inherently lead to unhappiness; many older adults experience positive well-being, indicating a complex relationship between aging and emotional health. The capstone delved into the multifaceted nature of aging, with a focus on the role of Subjective Well-Being (SWB) and its components, including positive affect, emotional profiles, and emotional regulation. Additionally, best practices for counsellors working with older adults are highlighted, along with recommendations for future research in this field, emphasizing the promotion of mental well-being during the aging process. The discussion in this capstone provides a deeper understanding of potential applications and considerations, offering valuable insights for mental health professionals, researchers, and practitioners in the field of counselling.
