"I've been a lifelong learner and get excited at the prospect of innovations that can
make the aging experience better for myself and others. Having the opportunity to
connect with people from all over, share my stories, and give innovators the benefit of
my experience is very fulfilling. Leap is a community of people who — like me — who want
to age with quality of life, continuously learning, and making a contribution."
Hilary Randall-Grace, Leap member
CABHI LEAP-CENTRE FOR HEALTH INFORMATION COLLABORATION
The Centre for Health Information (CHI) has fully adopted
four educational courses from Leap, an online community
of older adults and caregivers founded by the Centre for
Aging + Brain Health Innovation (CABHI), who share, learn,
collaborate, and advise on innovative solutions being
developed for better aging and brain health. The courses,
with trained instructors who are themselves older adults
with lived experience, are now part of CHI's Better Living
Education Series, aiming to empower older adults through
free, virtual, and interactive courses to maintain overall
health and well-being.
These new courses — Planning Your Best Life, Digital
Literacy Club, The Mindset Shift, and Financial Literacy —
are led by trained peer instructors with lived experience,
creating a powerful, relatable learning environment.
