Advancing Knowledge in Aging Studies

Through educational opportunities, CASAS bridges the gap between cutting-edge research and practical application in aging services, programs, and policy. We’re committed to fostering a community of professionals who are equipped to provide compassionate, culturally responsive, and high quality care.

Educational opportunities and support includes:

• Expert-Led Training: Webinars, workshops, and conferences feature the latest research and best practices in aging services.

   

• Practical Resources: Readily available reports, guides, and presentations are designed for immediate application.

   

• Career Development: Pathways to enhance knowledge in aging are offered for social workers and other professionals.

   

• Graduate Certificate Opportunities: The Aging Certificate is available through UC Berkeley’s School of Social Welfare.
  
  
• Support for the Student Community: The UC Berkeley Gerontological Society of America chapter provides opportunities for students to connect, learn, and grow.
  

• Critical Gerontology: CASAS’s focus on critical gerontology offers our students a unique lens, inviting them to consider the strengths, meaning, value, and diversity of aging at the intersection of systemic oppression and resistance.
