I currently wear two hats, working as a Grant Writer and Science Editor at Health Research, Inc. and serving as an Adjunct Assistant Research Professor in the Center for Mental Health & Aging at the University of Pennsylvania.
CMHA Director Dr. Zvi Gellis and I recently co-authored a publication in the Journal of Gerontological Social Work focused on mental distress and help-seeking behavior in NORC (naturally occurring retirement community) residents. We are working on the analysis of data from the national Successful Aging Project, a joint effort of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, the CMHA, and academic colleagues from various states.
