Building BRIDGES
for Older Adults
Behavioral Health Resources for Integrated Development, Growth, Engagement, and Support (BRIDGES) for Older Adults empowers community-based organizations and aging and disability network members to effectively Recognize, Respond to, and Refer older adults with behavioral health concerns in community-based, evidence-based chronic disease self-management programming.
