Resilience Program
After nearly a decade of research led by our Executive Director, Danielle K. Glorioso, we are thrilled to announce that our Resilience Intervention is now officially licensed through UC San Diego and available for implementation in community settings. This evidence-based, six-session program is specifically designed to enhance resilience, compassion, and self-compassion in older adults. It has been studied in various community settings across the United States, as well as in England and Israel, with results showing improvements in resilience and self-compassion, along with reductions in perceived stress, depression, and loneliness.
For more information about our intervention, please contact Danielle K. Glorioso at dglorioso@health.ucsd.edu

San Diego Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center for Minority Aging Research
We are pleased to report that the San Diego Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (AD-RCMAR) P30 has been successfully renewed under the leadership of our Interim Director, Dr. Alison Moore. They now have additional funding from the National Institute on Aging for the next five years to provide support and resources for early-career investigators from diverse backgroundscommitted to behavioral and social science research in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) and address ADRD inequities through novel research targeting multilevel factors to inform interventions. The Center’s population focus has evolved to be inclusive of groups with disproportionate risks for ADRD and of particular importance here in the San Diego region, including Hispanic/Latino, Limited English Proficiency, and Refugee Communities. The center will continue to benefit from the strong leadership of faculty from both UC San Diego and San Diego State University. We are very excited for all involved who have received this renewed funding!
