Wisdom-Bearers And Story-Tellers: Older Adults As Guides And Friends, Holly Nelson-Becker

Social Work: School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Other Works

This narrative recounts the author's discovery that her primary pathway to service was in working with older adults. Embedded in this process were separate but related journeys of coming to terms with a spiritual call and learning how her affinity for languages and cultures could support a contribution in aging.
