Centers and Initiatives
AgeWell Collaboratory
As more of us live longer, we face a powerful opportunity to reimagine health care in ways that help us remain active and vital in our homes and communities. At Drexel’s College of Nursing and Health Professions (CNHP), we believe that we need to re-engineer a whole range of programs and policies to better serve the growing numbers of people with chronic conditions and overcome the training limitations of today’s health care workforce. The AgeWell Collaboratory serves as a “center without walls” at Drexel. We bring together scientists, community members, practitioners, educators, and students together to find creative ways to address the most important challenges facing our aging society.

ABFT has been rigorously tested in several clinical trials and process research studies and now enjoys the distinction of being an empirically supported treatment on SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP) web site. Guy Diamond, PhD, the director of CFIS, is also the lead developer of the Behavioral Health Screening (BHS) tool, a web-based tool for mental health and non-mental health settings. The BHS is being used in primary care, emergency rooms, schools and college health and mental health centers. The Center houses eleven clinical rooms within 7,320 square feet.
