The CAIPA Foundation and the CAIPA supported CenterLight Healthcare PACE’s “Health Day” event in Brooklyn, focusing on the mental and emotional well-being of older adults. Yuanfen Chi, a clinical social worker representing CAIPA, led an engaging session on recognizing and addressing mental health challenges among older adults, highlighting early detection, emotional resilience, and community-based care.
A survey conducted during the event found that about one in five seniors expressed a need for counseling or emotional support, highlighting the growing importance of accessible mental health resources for older adults.
Over 100 community members attended the event, which featured health screenings, consultations, and wellness activities. The CAIPA Foundation remains committed to advancing health equity and supporting programs that enhance the quality of life for seniors across the community.
