9 Must Have Strategies for Living Well While Living longer

We are all living longer, period. Some of us will live well into our 90s, maybe even to 100 and beyond. Will we live well at that point? This presentation encourages the audience to “turn aging on its head,” with an uplifting perspective on aging successfully, overcoming obstacles, and the resilience needed to start new chapters. Dr. Joe Casciani is not only an expert in the mental health and well-being of the elderly, he has a unique and refreshing way of highlighting strategies for living life well while living longer. Whether still running marathons or confined to a wheelchair, modern day centenarians have taught us plenty about living longer. Dr. Casciani has distilled this science so that the audience will leave with a fresh and positive mindset about the future, with solutions that help to lift depression, and commit to moving forward no matter how many bumps are encountered along the way.

Joseph M. Casciani, PhD

Dr. Joseph Casciani has a 40-year history in aging as a psychologist and manager of mental health practices. He was awarded the first contracts from the California Department of Aging in 1982 to develop mental health training for the state’s nursing homes. For 16 years, he was the clinical lead for a large mental health practice where he oversaw mental health programs for patients in hundreds of nursing homes, in eight states. He is past President of Psychologists in Long Term Care, and former Board Member of a national consortium of geropsychology training programs. He is the author of two books, Handbook of Health and Behavior and Living Longer IS the New Normal, and other articles and book chapters. For over three decades, he has presented to caregiver groups, health care professionals, and senior organizations. Concept Healthcare (also known as CoHealth) is his former company, named to emphasize the importance of behavioral health concepts in the care of older adults. In 2018, he extended his professional interest in aging to his new venture, the Living to 100 Club. The website, www.Livingto100.Club, offers a collection of strategies and resources on successful aging, and his weekly podcasts on aging and longevity continues in this tradition with guests who share their professional insights and individuals with personal stories about overcoming their own obstacles.
