Mindful Aging Project

The Mindful Aging Project (MAP) is a collaboration between Factr and the African Community Health Institute which aims to decrease health disparities and improve the health and wellness of older newcomers and promote mindful aging. A healthy and mindful lifestyle begins at the roots, so this project will utilize a community garden to host several activities.
