Learning ObjectivesParticipants will be able to:Identify at least two modifiable risk and resilience factors for late life brain healthSummarize the components of effective multimodal interventions for late life brain healthExplain predictors of treatment response to multimodal interventions for late life brain healthEducational GoalThe educational goal of this session is to review the modifiable risk and resilience factors for cognitive impairment and present data from randomized controlled trials assessing the efficacy of multimodal interventions for Mild Cognitive Impairment as well as predictors and mechanisms of treatment response.DescriptionOlder adults are one of the fastest growing segments of the US population. It is estimated that 1 in 9 persons aged 65 or older has dementia and this number is expected to increase in coming years. Current pharmacological interventions for late life cognitive impairment have limited efficacy; however, recent research has highlighted the promise of lifestyle interventions for this population. This presentation will review the modifiable risk and resilience factors for cognitive impairment and present data from randomized controlled trials assessing the efficacy of multimodal interventions for Mild Cognitive Impairment as well as predictors and mechanisms of treatment response.Target AudienceCounselorMarriage & Family TherapistPsychologistSocial WorkerSubstance Use Disorder ProfessionalsPresenter: J.
