Research, Practice and Policy to Enhance Community-Based Senior Services

Chairperson: Andrew Wister | Co-Chair: Gloria Gutman

The 32nd John K. Friesen Conference is entitled “Research, Practice and Policy to Enhance Community-Based Senior Services.” The purpose of this conference is to bring together experts from academic, community, NGO, government, and private sectors to review emerging issues and share cutting-edge innovations to enhance community care and support systems targeting a rapidly aging population. Some of the emerging themes include maximizing the reach, efficacy and effectiveness of the community-based senior sector (CBSS), linking community and health care systems, new phases of age-friendly community action, policy developments, and examination of political and social care contexts such as ageism, declining economic security, marginalization, and technological literacy and its age-related divides. Highlights include keynote addresses; topical panel discussions, symposia, and poster displays presented by local, national, and international speakers representing community organizations, NGOs, government, and academic sectors.
