- Raise public awareness about the benefits of creative aging programs
Hi Anna,
MT has a Generations program that bring our regular classes to senior facilities. It can also take place at MT location with seniors attending. I’m sure you know about all the research on benefits to the aging and adults challenged with dementia, alzheimers or physical challenges. You can see a video here: Is this something we should explore together?
