'I felt lighter, more open': Why you are never too old
for therapy
We assume therapy belongs to youth, yet older people
may be particularly likely to benefit from psychological
support.
Maurizio is 70. He recently began therapy in the hope of
better understanding a physical pain he had carried since
childhood. He has suffered migraines since the age of
seven and wanted to explore what might lie behind them.
Over the years he had consulted different doctors and
sought multiple opinions – therapy was another attempt
to trace the origins of the problem. But he continued even
after realising he might never find a single cause. "The
process itself became something meaningful, a space for
introspection that helped me understand my life more
clearly," Mauizio says. (We have omitted the surnames of
the therapy clients quoted within this piece to preserve
their privacy.)
Antonio, 73, and his wife Gigliola, 68, turned to therapy
hoping to save their relationship after years marked by
disappointments and unspoken tensions. "After some
time, I realised I felt lighter, more open," Antonio says.
"Looking within ourselves and bringing out what we could
never say before perhaps helped us," Gigliola adds.
Their stories challenge a common assumption: that
therapy is only for the young. And a growing body of
evidence suggests that many older people could benefit
from the same kind of help.
Therapy in later life
The potential for therapy to treat mental illness and
enhance our overall wellbeing is now well-established,
yet it is relatively rare for older people to access these
services.
According to the World Health Organization, around 14%
of people over 70 live with a mental health disorder, most
commonly anxiety and depression, and 17% of all
suicides occur in people of in this age range. A study
published in 2024, however, found that only around 4%
of US adults aged 65 and over received psychological
therapy, compared with 12% of those aged 18-24 and
8% among those aged 35-64.
This is despite there being no evidence that therapy is
any less effective or useful as we get older, according to
Pim Cuijpers, professor of clinical psychology at the Vrije
Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands. "Therapies
work across the whole adult age," he says.
Cuijpers recently published a review on psychotherapy
for depression across different age groups. "What
surprised me is that there is quite a lot of research in
older people who are above 75 and we didn't find any
indication that psychotherapies differ in that age group either," he says.
Older people may find that therapy helps to target some
of the specific concerns that come with ageing, including
social isolation and chronic illness, with widespread
benefits. Many report improvements in overall wellbeing,
renewed motivation and increased social participation. In
this way therapy can function as a bridge: helping older
adults reconnect with themselves and the wider world.
The strongest responses, according to a 2025 review,
may be found in group-based interventions, which makes
sense, since they offer a structured means of relating
with others.
And despite lower levels of initial access, completion
rates among older participants can reach up to 54%,
often surpassing those of younger adults. This
demonstrates that older patients are frequently highly
committed to therapy and capable of sustaining the work
required for meaningful change.
"We don't know the reasons but we could imagine that
when older adults are willing to seek help, they are also
more motivated to do that," says Cuijpers.
Barriers to care
Financial difficulties help explain part of the gap in older
people beginning therapy in the first place: their health
insurance may not cover therapy, and they may not be
able to afford to pay for it independently.
A world of therapy options
Therapy comes in many different forms and can be
tailored to different needs. A few that may be worth
considering trying are:
• Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on
identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns.
• Psychodynamic therapy has an emphasis on how past
experiences shape present emotions and behaviours.
• Family therapy is for those who want to work beyond an
individual focus (such as in Antonio and Gigliola's case)
and looks at relationships and dynamics within the family
as a whole.
• Group therapy creates opportunities to share
experiences with people facing similar medical diagnoses
and to feel more understood and less alone.
But another barrier can arise within the healthcare
system itself. The journey into therapy often depends on
a referral from a primary care physician, yet some
research suggests that older adults are referred to
psychological treatments less frequently, even when they
present with symptoms of anxiety or depression. Their
distress may be seen as a natural response to ageing or
physical decline, rather than as a mental health condition
that warrants treatment.
Part of this prejudice comes from Sigmund Freud, the
founder of psychoanalysis, who argued that therapy
stopped working after 40 or 50 years, says Rossana De
Beni, professor and senior researcher in experimental
psychology at the University of Padua, Italy. In On
Psychotherapy (1905), a brief technical paper on the practice of psychoanalysis, Freud noted that above a
certain age "the elasticity of the mental processes, on
which the treatment depends, is as a rule lacking".
But that is "absolutely not true", says De Beni. In fact,
"studies show the opposite".
Clinicians need to see the older person for who they truly
are, De Beni points out, not simply as "an old person",
but as a multi-faceted individual. Unfortunately, our ageist
prejudices are often "deeply entrenched", she says.
Some of the ageism may be internalised by the potential
patients themselves. Beliefs such as the idea that mental
health problems are simply a normal part of ageing are
among the most frequently cited obstacles to accessing
care. This is especially problematic, since ageism can
itself predispose someone to greater anxiety and
depression.
The simple truth is that positive transformation is possible
across the lifespan. "Ageing, right to the very end, is a
stage of life marked by change," De Beni says. "People
become more fully themselves in a process of continuous
transformation, learning and flexibility that never truly
ends."
Maurizio certainly identifies with this sentiment. "There
are three moments when therapy helped me: in dealing
with my marital separation, in working through certain
conflicts with my children, and in navigating the transition
from active work to a pre-retirement phase, where I had
to find new ways to socialise," Maurizio says. "I never
thought it could be too late for anything."
He hopes that he has set an example for others to follow.
"I think it may have planted a small seed: not today, not
tomorrow, but perhaps the day after, they will bring it out
and water it," he says.

Read the teaching situation below:
An English teacher uses the article with an advanced class. Students compare the headline with the statistical evidence, distinguish expert claims from personal testimony, examine expressions such as "natural response to ageing" and "deeply entrenched," and then redesign the article as a short social-media carousel for a younger audience while documenting what information had to be selected, reframed, or omitted.
Which interpretation characterizes this teaching sequence?

"function as a bridge" for older adults. The expression

the reference to group-based interventions.

Antonio, 73, and his wife Gigliola, 68, turned to therapy
hoping to save their relationship after years marked by
disappointments and unspoken tensions. "After some
time, I realised I felt lighter, more open," Antonio says.
"Looking within ourselves and bringing out what we could
never say before perhaps helped us," Gigliola adds.
Their stories challenge a common assumption: that
therapy is only for the young. And a growing body of
evidence suggests that many older people could benefit
from the same kind of help.
Therapy in later life
The potential for therapy to treat mental illness and
enhance our overall wellbeing is now well-established,
yet it is relatively rare for older people to access these
services.
According to the World Health Organization, around 14%
of people over 70 live with a mental health disorder, most
commonly anxiety and depression, and 17% of all
suicides occur in people of in this age range. A study
published in 2024, however, found that only around 4%
of US adults aged 65 and over received psychological
therapy, compared with 12% of those aged 18-24 and
8% among those aged 35-64.
This is despite there being no evidence that therapy is
any less effective or useful as we get older, according to
Pim Cuijpers, professor of clinical psychology at the Vrije
Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands. "Therapies
work across the whole adult age," he says.
Cuijpers recently published a review on psychotherapy
for depression across different age groups. "What
surprised me is that there is quite a lot of research in
older people who are above 75 and we didn't find any
indication that psychotherapies differ in that age group either," he says.
Older people may find that therapy helps to target some
of the specific concerns that come with ageing, including
social isolation and chronic illness, with widespread
benefits. Many report improvements in overall wellbeing,
renewed motivation and increased social participation. In
this way therapy can function as a bridge: helping older
adults reconnect with themselves and the wider world.
The strongest responses, according to a 2025 review,
may be found in group-based interventions, which makes
sense, since they offer a structured means of relating
with others.
And despite lower levels of initial access, completion
rates among older participants can reach up to 54%,
often surpassing those of younger adults. This
demonstrates that older patients are frequently highly
committed to therapy and capable of sustaining the work
required for meaningful change.
"We don't know the reasons but we could imagine that
when older adults are willing to seek help, they are also
more motivated to do that," says Cuijpers.
Barriers to care
Financial difficulties help explain part of the gap in older
people beginning therapy in the first place: their health
insurance may not cover therapy, and they may not be
able to afford to pay for it independently.
A world of therapy options
Therapy comes in many different forms and can be
tailored to different needs. A few that may be worth
considering trying are:
• Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on
identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns.
• Psychodynamic therapy has an emphasis on how past
experiences shape present emotions and behaviours.
• Family therapy is for those who want to work beyond an
individual focus (such as in Antonio and Gigliola's case)
and looks at relationships and dynamics within the family
as a whole.
• Group therapy creates opportunities to share
experiences with people facing similar medical diagnoses
and to feel more understood and less alone.
But another barrier can arise within the healthcare
system itself. The journey into therapy often depends on
a referral from a primary care physician, yet some
research suggests that older adults are referred to
psychological treatments less frequently, even when they
present with symptoms of anxiety or depression. Their
distress may be seen as a natural response to ageing or
physical decline, rather than as a mental health condition
that warrants treatment.
Part of this prejudice comes from Sigmund Freud, the
founder of psychoanalysis, who argued that therapy
stopped working after 40 or 50 years, says Rossana De
Beni, professor and senior researcher in experimental
psychology at the University of Padua, Italy. In On
Psychotherapy (1905), a brief technical paper on the practice of psychoanalysis, Freud noted that above a
certain age "the elasticity of the mental processes, on
which the treatment depends, is as a rule lacking".
But that is "absolutely not true", says De Beni. In fact,
"studies show the opposite".
Clinicians need to see the older person for who they truly
are, De Beni points out, not simply as "an old person",
but as a multi-faceted individual. Unfortunately, our ageist
prejudices are often "deeply entrenched", she says.
Some of the ageism may be internalised by the potential
patients themselves. Beliefs such as the idea that mental
health problems are simply a normal part of ageing are
among the most frequently cited obstacles to accessing
care. This is especially problematic, since ageism can
itself predispose someone to greater anxiety and
depression.
The simple truth is that positive transformation is possible
across the lifespan. "Ageing, right to the very end, is a
stage of life marked by change," De Beni says. "People
become more fully themselves in a process of continuous
transformation, learning and flexibility that never truly
ends."
Maurizio certainly identifies with this sentiment. "There
are three moments when therapy helped me: in dealing
with my marital separation, in working through certain
conflicts with my children, and in navigating the transition
from active work to a pre-retirement phase, where I had
to find new ways to socialise," Maurizio says. "I never
thought it could be too late for anything."
He hopes that he has set an example for others to follow.
"I think it may have planted a small seed: not today, not
tomorrow, but perhaps the day after, they will bring it out
and water it," he says.

'I felt lighter, more open': Why you are never too old
for therapy
We assume therapy belongs to youth, yet older people
may be particularly likely to benefit from psychological
support.
Maurizio is 70. He recently began therapy in the hope of
better understanding a physical pain he had carried since
childhood. He has suffered migraines since the age of
seven and wanted to explore what might lie behind them.
Over the years he had consulted different doctors and
sought multiple opinions – therapy was another attempt
to trace the origins of the problem. But he continued even
after realising he might never find a single cause. "The
process itself became something meaningful, a space for
introspection that helped me understand my life more
clearly," Mauizio says. (We have omitted the surnames of

Privacidade é barreira ao uso de plataformas digitais
em escolas
O receio com riscos à privacidade e à proteção de dados
pessoais está entre os desafios apontados por 39% das
escolas públicas brasileiras que ainda não utilizam
programas, sistemas ou plataformas nas atividades de
gestão escolar.
O dado é da pesquisa Privacidade e Proteção de Dados
Pessoais 2025, divulgada nesta segunda-feira (31) pelo
Cetic.br, que produz as estatísticas de referência sobre
internet no Brasil. Mas esse receio não se restringe
apenas às escolas que ainda não adotaram ferramentas
digitais.
Entre as escolas que já adotaram esses sistemas informatizados, a preocupação é ainda maior: 52% citam
a privacidade entre os desafios enfrentados. O tema só
perde para qualidade dos computadores e do acesso à
internet (65%), falta de habilidades dos educadores e de
outros funcionários (63%) e falta de integração entre os
diferentes sistemas (53%).
A desconfiança, porém, não impediu que os sistemas
chegassem. Sistemas de gestão criados pelo governo
estão em 92% das escolas públicas, e 79% delas usam
plataformas de ensino e aprendizagem. A discussão,
portanto, não trava um processo que ainda vai começar,
mas convive com um que já está em curso.

Privacidade é barreira ao uso de plataformas digitais
em escolas
O receio com riscos à privacidade e à proteção de dados
pessoais está entre os desafios apontados por 39% das
escolas públicas brasileiras que ainda não utilizam
programas, sistemas ou plataformas nas atividades de
gestão escolar.
O dado é da pesquisa Privacidade e Proteção de Dados
Pessoais 2025, divulgada nesta segunda-feira (31) pelo
Cetic.br, que produz as estatísticas de referência sobre
internet no Brasil. Mas esse receio não se restringe
apenas às escolas que ainda não adotaram ferramentas
digitais.
Entre as escolas que já adotaram esses sistemas informatizados, a preocupação é ainda maior: 52% citam
a privacidade entre os desafios enfrentados. O tema só
perde para qualidade dos computadores e do acesso à
internet (65%), falta de habilidades dos educadores e de
outros funcionários (63%) e falta de integração entre os
diferentes sistemas (53%).
A desconfiança, porém, não impediu que os sistemas
chegassem. Sistemas de gestão criados pelo governo
estão em 92% das escolas públicas, e 79% delas usam
plataformas de ensino e aprendizagem. A discussão,
portanto, não trava um processo que ainda vai começar,
mas convive com um que já está em curso.

Considerando o emprego da crase no trecho acima, analise as asserções a seguir.
I.As duas ocorrências de crase, em 'à privacidade' e em 'à proteção de dados pessoais', estão corretamente empregadas, pois o substantivo 'receio' rege a preposição 'a', fundida ao artigo definido feminino que antecede ambos os substantivos determinados.
PORQUE
II.O substantivo 'receio', quando seguido de complemento, admite regência com a preposição 'a' (receio a algo), de modo que, diante de substantivo feminino determinado por artigo, ocorre a fusão que caracteriza a crase, aplicável de forma independente a cada um dos dois termos coordenados por 'e'.
A respeito das asserções, assinale a alternativa correta.

Turismo
Uma agência de turismo elaborou um roteiro cultural
sobre a herança da imigração alemã em Santa Catarina,
reunindo municípios que ocupam posições distintas
nessa história: o que abriga a colônia pioneira do estado,
o que se consolidou como principal destino turístico
associado à cultura germânica e o que se notabilizou
pela preservação cotidiana do idioma. Na elaboração do
material impresso, foi preciso vincular corretamente cada
município à sua característica, evitando atribuir a um
deles o marco que pertence a outro.
Relacione a Coluna I à Coluna II.
Coluna I
1.São Pedro de Alcântara. 2.Pomerode. 3.São João do Oeste.
Coluna II
(__)Reconhecido em lei estadual, desde 2008, como Capital Catarinense da Língua Alemã.
(__)Primeira colônia alemã de Santa Catarina, fundada em 1829 com a chegada de vinte famílias vindas do sudoeste da Alemanha.
(__)Conhecida como a cidade mais alemã do Brasil, no Vale do Itajaí, com forte exploração turística das tradições germânicas.
A sequência correta, de cima para baixo, é:

Legislação dos Municípios do Estado de Santa Catarina
A assessoria jurídica da Câmara Municipal de São João
do Oeste foi consultada em duas frentes no mesmo
período: o Prefeito havia oposto veto parcial a um projeto
recém-aprovado, e um contribuinte procurara o protocolo
para examinar as contas anuais do Município. Ao mesmo
tempo, um vereador questionou qual seria o quórum
aplicável à aprovação de um projeto de lei ordinária em
tramitação. A assessoria precisou responder a cada
ponto com base no texto da Lei Orgânica Municipal.
Sobre o que dispõe a Lei Orgânica Municipal de São João do Oeste, analise as afirmativas a seguir.
I.As leis ordinárias exigem, para sua aprovação, o voto favorável de dois terços dos membros da Câmara Municipal.
II.O veto do Prefeito somente pode ser rejeitado pelo voto de dois terços dos Vereadores, em votação por escrutínio secreto.
III.As contas do Município ficam anualmente à disposição de qualquer contribuinte, pelo prazo de sessenta dias, para exame e apreciação.
