Optimal Aging and Intergenerational Support Systems

Columbia Bundles Community Scholar Chris Lawrence works to find practical ways to support seniors in order to offer them more flourishing, resilient and hopeful living through persistent advocacy on their behalf and a person-focused approach to deep listening and companionship. He will lead a discussion of current and potential inter-generational work to address and meet the demands of an increasingly large aging population. A group of distinguished practitioners and educators will explore a natural way that older people and younger people can share life.
