  • Launching Region 5 and a new website for normalizing the Hartford Partnership Program for Aging Education...
    One goal of the Hartford Partnership Program for Aging Education (HPPAE) is to be the norm in aging education at all MSW programs. Normalizing this model will help the social work profession address the demands of a rapidly aging population and anticipated workforce needs by training aging-competent leaders in the field.

    In striving toward this goal, the Social Work Leadership Institute has engaged with 15 MSW programs in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Mississippi, which consist of "Region 5", to launch the normalization of the HPPAE. Partnering with currently funded HPPAE programs in Texas and utilizing their expertise in implementing the program to share knowledge, information, and resources with the schools new to this unique approach to geriatric education, this is the first region in the country to begin the normalization of the HPPAE.

    To learn more about creating a HPPAE at your school, this website, www.hartfordpartnership.org, provides all the tools and resources you may need. With this wealth of knowledge and information at your fingertips, the time is now for the social work profession to train the next generation of leaders to meet the needs of America's older adults.




a few words from our director

"Today's aging population is facing challenges and issues never imagined by their parents. To help them navigate their choices and options, social workers can provide information and guidance . And SWLI is doing its part to respond to changing demographics by proactively supporting and educating highly-qualified social workers who are able to meet this urgent need."
