    Abstract
    In this study the authors explored how depressive symptoms and social support were related to the resilience of older caregivers (N = 117) caring children affected by HIV/AIDS in rural Northern Namibia, Africa. Our findings showed that lower levels of depressive symptoms and high levels of social support from significant others and family were statistically associated with increased resilience in older caregivers. There is a need for mental health services and social supports to improve the resilience of older caregivers caring for children affected by HIV and AIDS. There is an increasing need for more vigorous and concerted efforts from public and private sector practitioners and policy makers to expand social protection safety nets and develop more targeted economic interventions aimed at enhancing the resilience of older caregivers, especially those residing in rural HIV endemic communities in Namibia.
