Community engagement is a unique approach to the promotion of successful aging that taps into older adults’ desire to help others. The Strong Women Across America program will be highlighted in this session as an example of this approach. Strong Women Across America was designed to empower midlife and older women to improve their communities’ food and physical activity environments while sustaining motivation to lead healthier lives themselves. The session will include a mini-workshop designed to walk participants through the formation and implementation of a community change program. Organized by Healthy Aging Division.
