مستخلص: LINKages, a nonprofit organization, aims to bridge the gap between older and younger generations by building intergenerational programs for youth and older adults. The objective of this project was to explore the influence of the LINKages intergenerational program on: a) older adults’ affect and levels of engagement, and b) youth volunteers’ experiences of engagement and perceptions of older adults. An exploratory case study design was used to address the study objectives. Sixty-five residents from four residential care homes and 87 youth volunteers in the LINKages program participated. Data were collected over 7 months. Statistically significant improvements in students’ perceptions of older adults and their experiences of engagement were found following their participation in the LINKages program. Participation also resulted in positive benefits for residents based on their observed levels of engagement and positive affect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute's (University Health Network) Spinal Cord Rehabilitation Program (SCRP) Cottage Program, which is a unique outdoor experiential therapy (OET) intervention for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). The outcomes illustrate the evolution of a therapeutic recreation (TR) program, and the development and implementation of a program evaluation framework. Over time, the SCRP Cottage Program has evolved from a small, one-day TR unstructured program to a large four-day structured inter-professional OET. For the evaluation component, a pre-posttest survey design was employed with participants with SCI who attended the cottage program (n = 14) and with a control group (n = 7). Cottage participants completed surveys on their goals and satisfaction with the program, while both groups completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale and the Moorong Self-Efficacy Scale. Positive affect and self-efficacy increased over time in cottage participants, but not for controls. Overall, participants were highly satisfied with the cottage program. The findings provide a model for the development and evaluation of an OET aimed at improving well-being following SCI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
