Looking at Neighborhoods through an Intergenerational Lens
A brown bag lunch at the Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia on Thursday, August 13 from noon to 1pm
Using her diverse background in urban planning and geriatric social work, Rachel B. Cohen, MUP/MSW, will share her unique perspective on the relationship between older adults, their homes, and their communities, with an intergenerational lens. She will explore the practice side of creating multi-disciplinary and multi-generational collaborations that aim to promote age-friendly cities and sustainable communities for a lifetime. Her discussion will include ways to identify common interests and needs between generations, social service organizations, community development corporations, and government agencies to leverage resources.
Additionally, she will lead a small break-out session on why designing neighborhood infrastructure that benefits seniors also benefits young children and families, and the importance of developing programs in Philadelphia that provide opportunities for all ages to interact.
Please RSVP to Kate Clark at kclark@pcaphl.org by Monday, August 10th.
