Poster from 2006 Cascades student poster session.
It is time to open up the dialogue about old age with a healthy and positive
outlook.
The current state of Oregon is faced with high elder suicide rates and
depression is common with elders.
I propose a complex including the following:
• A focus on the mind and body for better health.
• A complex focused on community and holistic living.
• senior living
• child-day care
• mental health support
• alternative therapies
• public advocacy
• community events
• aging education
Outcome:
With so much dedication to this new holistic approach to aging the
mental health of elders will improve and people will look forward to the
last phase of life.
