In recognition of Older Americans Month in May, CSH is offering a Healthy Aging training series to help build the capacity of housing and human services providers across New York. The series aims to equip providers with evidence-backed interventions and services tailored to meet the unique needs of aging tenants in supportive housing. The program will consist of four 2-hour webinars. Four training modules will be led by topic-specific content experts, and sessions will also include facilitated discussions and opportunities for peer learning. There is no charge to attend, but you do need to pre-register.
