Ossorio is designing a comprehensive neuro- cognitive psychological and physical assessment and intervention program called SageMind which will help late middle-aged and older adults optimize their cognitive and physical health as they age. The program will provide individually tailored whole-body health plans based on emerging science showing that multi-domain health optimization can greatly reduce the risk for dementia and other adverse cognitive changes during aging. SageMind which will be run out of the Brenner Center for Psychological Assessment and Consultation at Wil- liam James College will use serial neurocognitive assessments as a tool allowing participants to track and monitor their cognitive health as they age. Ossorio also hopes to engage a wider audience through a soon-to-be-launched newsletter that will provide emotional cognitive and physical health information for older people as well as a series of SageMind-centered lectures and social events.

Theyve done admirable work addressing other segments of our societyveterans the Latino community and children and families to name a fewbut folks above the age of 65 have unique needs that deserve unique attention too. Silverman points to some of the biggest chal- lenges seniors face moving from the isolation of a familiar home to a community setting managing new physical realities dealing with the loss of friends and loved ones and maintaining a productive active mindespecially when those tasked with your care assume your mental decline is inevitable. Promoting mental health requires that we stop thinking only in terms of pathology. Were not sick. he insists.
