The session will argue that brain health is everyone's responsibility and that all programs and activities for older adults (or any age group) should be designed to promote brain health and flourishing. The presentation will offer a coherent paradigm that practitioners can use to build brain health into the design of their creative aging programs.  (September 25 - 28)
