The Center for Health and Aging Innovation (CHAI) at the NYU Silver School of Social Work looks to harness the power of intergenerational connection to increase the overall wellness of all generations. Our research, education, and community partnerships aim to promote equity among diverse populations.

With Intergenerational Home Sharing, CHAI fosters immediate intergenerational connection in the pairing of older and younger generations together to share living space. 

Our Healthy Aging Specialization at NYU Silver is setting the stage for the long term success of intergenerational connectivity. The Healthy Aging Specialization aims to build a strong cadre of social work scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and advocates to maximize opportunities for health and longevity for individuals and society.
