Consumer Resilience and Wellbeing Webinar Series

Hosted by the Consumer Wellbeing Research Group, School of Economics, Finance and Marketing, RMIT University

Overview of the Series

Resilience is the capacity to recover from difficult life events. Join us for a discussion of key challenges for consumers as they move forward and navigate the new normal. A series of three expert panels will discuss and unpack implications for consumers’ financial wellbeing, food wellbeing and mid-life wellbeing.

Consumer Resilience and Mid-life Wellbeing

Whilst efforts have been targeted towards younger and elderly Australians, there is increasing recognition that middle age is significantly under-represented in health promotion and polices. Mid-life or middle age is the period of life between young adulthood and old age. It can often be characterised as a time of significant challenge in terms of health and wellbeing, career aspirations, planning for retirement, and stresses of being sandwiched between caring for ageing parents and growing children. These challenges have been amplified by COVID-19. Being proactive around health and wellbeing behaviours at mid-life is important for laying the foundations for later life.

Join us for a panel discussion on challenges for men and women in mid-life, and how strategies to build resilience and resourcefulness may help navigate the pathway to positive wellbeing and health in later life.
