How Happy is the Heart of Massachusetts?
Overview
CMRPC plans to delve deeply into how planned environment and civic involvement impact happiness and well-being among the diverse populations of Central Massachusetts. Our method of coalition building and conducting interviews will offer a more intimate and thorough exploration of personal experiences and perspectives.
Background
In 2023, the CMRPC published the first regional Age-Friendly Plan for Central Massachusetts. Through our findings, we found lack of access to social capital as a prevailing theme in our region for older adults. The Happy Factor project aligns seamlessly with the objectives of the Age-Friendly Central Mass Action Plan.
