Advancing Strategies to Support Older Adults with Behavioral Health Conditions in the Senior Nutrition Program Setting

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support a project for behavioral health-focused innovations in the senior nutrition program setting with intentions to 1) learn of existing barriers and facilitators to serving older adults living with behavioral health conditions in the congregate meal setting, 2) develop and implement person-centered, trauma-informed, and appropriate best practices to meet the needs of seniors living with behavioral health conditions in the senior nutrition program setting, and 3) develop and disseminate resources from tested findings and already existing practices; all resources must be Section 508 compliant. Projects proposed under this grant program must have the potential for broad implementation throughout the aging services network and have demonstrated value.
