Aging & Care Giving Programs
Explore the many dimensions of aging. We offer certificate programs, workshops and conferences on aging, care giving, aging friendly initiatives, and professional development for the long care workforce. Our programs are created collaboratively with partners who represent a rich diversity of fields. Programs on dementia and family care giving are regularly offered. Life-long learners, students and midlife adults exploring careers, health care and elder care professionals, business owners and policy makers find our programs informative, practical, creative and often, transformative.
For more information about the programs listed here, or the opportunity to work in partnership for the development of educational activities that address special needs, call 608.785.6509.
