The Power of Collaboration
Background
The Southeast Michigan Senior Regional Collaborative (The Senior Regional Collaborative) was established in 2008 to address the needs of the rapidly growing aging population in Southeast Michigan. Today, the Collaborative is a 30+ member organization - nonprofits and public sector entities - each individually, and collectively, dedicated to providing the highest quality of services to older adults. By working together, these organizations are able to reach a broader audience of policymakers, service professionals, family caregivers and older adults.
Purpose
Our purpose is to develop a collective framework for advocacy, diversity, awareness and action in support of issues affecting the safety and quality of life of older adults in Southeast Michigan.
Mission
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for all older adults and people with disabilities in the region through capacity building and strategic leadership.
Vision
Our vision is a region where SRC members combine their collective strength to ensure older adults and people with disabilities live healthier, more fulfilling and productive lives.

The SRC will be hosting the Mapping Ourselves Project:
Personal Science to Strengthen Communities, provides

environments. By making the invisible behaviors and connections in our lives visible, the Mapping
Ourselves program will help participants better understand and value their own care ecosystem, their
interconnectedness, and how they each contribute to community wellbeing.
There will be three sessions in the tri-county area.
