This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a virtual reminiscence therapy program—where older adults share and discuss life stories in a group setting—can help reduce loneliness and apathy (a lack of motivation or interest in activities). The program meets weekly for 12 weeks, and researchers will measure whether participants feel less lonely and more engaged after the program ends.
Many older adults living in the community experience loneliness and apathy, which can affect their quality of life and overall health. This study exists to see if sharing life stories in a supportive virtual group setting is a practical and helpful way to address these feelings.

You would join a virtual group that meets once a week for 12 weeks to share and discuss life stories with other older adults. Before the program starts and after it ends, you'll complete brief assessments about how lonely you feel and how motivated you are. Some participants will also be invited to take part in an interview to share their thoughts about the program.
