SPOP PRESENTS AT SNF NOSTOS 2023
SPOP was honored to attend and present at the SNF Nostos 2023 conference on mental health, June 21-23 in Athens, Greece. For three days we joined with mental health professionals, researchers, advocates, and philanthropists for meetings, presentations, panel discussions, and conversations about mental health. The high point of the conference was a conversation between President Barack Obama and Andreas Dracopoulos, Co-President of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
Nancy Harvey shared SPOP’s story in her presentation, Aging-Plus: Addressing layers of complexity in an older person. Speaking before an audience of 200, Nancy spoke about SPOP’s strategies to reach out to the most isolated and vulnerable older adults, and our commitment to acknowledge each person as an individual, not a a number.
