Led by Professor Julie Henry, this collaborative initiative brings together experts from The University of Queensland, Mater Research, and Silverchain, to identify strategies for enhancing cognitive ageing in older Australians—empowering them to remain independent and socially connected for longer.
The project will create training tools that help older adults build resilience, self-compassion, and challenge internalised ageism.
It will also create empathy-based programs for healthcare providers to enable them to identify and eliminate ageist attitudes and behaviours.
