But are our homes, technologies, healthcare systems, and everyday products designed for a world where living into our 90s is becoming increasingly common.  Join Boston College design professor Sunand Bhattacharya for an engaging talk exploring how human-centered and inclusive design can help create longer, better lives for individuals, families, caregivers, and communities. Through stories, real-world examples, and emerging innovations, discover why designing for super aging may be one of society's next great design challenges.  This program is in-person, free, and open to the public.

Recordings from the 25th Anniversary Speaker Series:

 

Dr. Christine Ritchie kicked off our 25th anniversary speaker series in early June, presenting on how to purposefully age by creating habits of activity, habits of connection, and habits of curiosity and learning. She connected these ideas to well-being in later life. It is NEVER too late to try something new and become a new, adapted version of who you are.

Drawing on her clinical work in geriatric psychiatry as well as examples in history and literature, Marie Clouqueur, LICSW invited us in September to see older adults as protagonists who can drive the next advancements of our society.
