Summary
Details

Social isolation, youth mental health crisis, parental stress, and elder homelessness are serious issues facing our country, requiring immediate attention. What if there was one antidote to address all of these issues simultaneously?

In The Power of a Joyful Village, Dr. Derenda M. Schubert illuminates the transformative power of using intergenerational solutions to create cohesive communities and to cultivate safety nets for all ages. Joyful villages represent intentional community building across generations. All ages are valued and contribute to the well-being of a family, a neighborhood, and a society.

This transformative power gives hope and optimism for the future, overcoming challenges and building a connected world.

Dr. Schubert offers practical strategies and inspiring stories demonstrating how shared experiences and perspectives can lead to innovative solutions for today's pressing challenges. We can create age-friendly, supportive environments that promote healthy living throughout life.

Join the movement to reimagine weaving the generations together, encouraging meaningful connections, all contributing to a vibrant and joyful village. Join Dr. Schubert on a journey harnessing the power of intergenerational solutions, discovering how to overcome obstacles, and, most importantly, celebrating all ages. By recognizing and valuing each generation's unique contributions and needs, we can build a strong safety of support for all.
