Therapy designed to empower older adults "taught me how not to let other people’s negative attacks penetrate and affect me," wrote a participant of Project Hope in a post-program satisfaction survey. "Thank you for giving me the knowledge and tools to love and protect my person."

Another former participant wrote, "Not very many people come and land so gently in your life and leave behind a calming peace. She did that."

Grateful feedback buoys Vintrica Grant. She is a mental health clinician with Project Hope, a group of programs for older adults offered by the Stanislaus County Area Agency on Aging.

"Working with the older adult population, every day I get some nugget of wisdom that helps me live a better life, encouraging me to look at things through a different lens," Vintrica says.

Helping people thrive is a hallmark of California’s 50 years of dedicated commitment to enriching the lives of older adults.
