Celebrating 10 Years of Impact 

From the start, you have joined us in forming a collaborative community of professionals and volunteers dedicated to improving aging services through the PCTI approach. And together we have impacted the lives of countless Holocaust survivors, older adults with a history of trauma, and family caregivers. Through the diversity of programming funded through the Center or inspired by the PCTI approach, we are ensuring that every older adult receives the support they need to thrive.
