Better Than the Movies
No full textBetter Than the Movies is a story of Liz Buxbaum, who is a romance movie lover and believes the perfect guy will sweep her off her feet. When her childhood crush, Michael, moves back to town during her senior year, Liz is set to win his affection.

As Liz and Wes navigate their pact, Liz discovers that real love isn’t about the perfect story line, but about the genuine, unexpected connection she develops with Wes.

The Space Between Worlds

Silent Struggles: Stigma, Mental Health Disclosure, and Social Support in Older Adulthood
No full textThis study explores how older adults perceive and manage stigma related to aging, as well as the role social support plays in that process. Using qualitative interviews, findings revealed that while many participants claimed they had not experienced stigma, their narratives often described dismissive or devaluing encounters, suggesting a disconnect between conceptualizing stigma and experiencing it. Drawing on Stigma Management Communication (SMC) theory, this study contributes real-life examples of how older adults navigate stigma, sometimes through denial, resilience, or selective engagement with social support systems. The research also connects these experiences to the framework of social support, demonstrating how emotional connections with friends and family serve as protective factors both before and after stigma occurs. Despite strong informal support systems, participants often still felt invisible or underestimated in public spaces, suggesting that social support alone cannot fully buffer the effects of ageism. Practical implications highlight the need for more accessible mental health services, age-specific messaging in public health, and deeper provider training to support the evolving needs of a diverse aging population
