    The project helped determine the influence of well-being on the social identity of older adults, where social identity is reinforced when spaces for participation and inclusion exist, where their life story, knowledge, and contributions to the community are recognized. Maintaining a positive social identity is a protective factor against psychological decline and social exclusion. Through a mixed-methods approach, the identity and well-being of older adults attending the Totoras Parish Council were studied. The research employed a qualitative approach to understand perceptions, sense of belonging, social roles, community participation, and recognition of social identity; as well as a quantitative approach to numerically measure well-being and social identity. A 12-question survey with Likert-scale response options was administered to 52 older adults in the Totoras Parish, and two social workers were interviewed using a 10-question questionnaire, allowing the study to determine the influence of well-being on the social identity of this population. The results show that well-being depends not only on physical health, but also on emotional, family, and social factors that allow older adults to maintain an active and strengthened social identity; for this reason, it is suggested that the GAD and institutions linked to the care of older adults implement comprehensive programs aimed at strengthening the emotional, social, and community well-being of this vulnerable population
