Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) was among the most admired and influential performing artists of the 20th century, with an approach to rhythm and phrasing that left a deep and lasting impression on all popular singers to follow. At the same time, his public persona and private life were among the most controversial of public figures. This presentation will use images, audio, and video clips to illustrate Mr. Sinatra’s professional journey across six decades, including examination of his lifelong alcohol use and periods of despondency and suicidality. We will pay special attention to how he dealt with his own aging process, including how he continued to tour in concert well into the progressive dementia that would eventually end his career. His story holds rich implications for considering the creative resilience potential in aging, and for the limitations to such resilience posed by illness and functional impairment.

In the United States, many people experience potentially traumatic events across the life course, and some people experience long-term negative impacts from those events that affect the ways they engage with others and the care system. Given the high rates of trauma in the population, it is reasonable to believe that the older adults for which we provide care will also have high rates of trauma about which providers may or may not be aware. Trauma informed care is a system wide approach to care that aims to reduce re-traumatization and make health and social services more accessible to people who have past traumatic experiences. This presentation will cover risk factors for trauma in older adults, possible presentations of the effects of trauma, ways that individual providers and systems can become more trauma informed, and the differences between trauma informed care and trauma treatment.
