Unit 7A Assignment: Community Resource Exploration

In this two-part learning activity, you have the opportunity to learn more about programs (either government, business or non-profit) that support the health of aging adults in your community and share your findings with your colleagues. Consider perhaps a topic that you know nothing about or one that you are leaning toward exploring for your final project.

Directions

1. Pick a focus for your exploration- either nutrition resources and/or wellness resources- that support older adults in your community.
2. Let's begin to build an inventory together. Include your name and list at least three programs and report basic information in the Collective Community Resource Spreadsheet.
   • Name, location, web address,
   • Primary program focus: nutrition, wellness, both, other (describe)
   • Statement of mission
   • Setting (think continuum of care, biopsychosocial approach, social-ecological framework)
