AWI is the only organization solely focused on understanding the complex topic of animal wellness and leading the change to bring a more enlightened welfare state. Here at AWI, we’re looking to solve the big issue confronting welfare professionals today: How do we increase and support the health and well-being of those animals under human care or those living alongside human cultures so they can reach their own potential? We believe the answer lies in Wellness.
By approaching animals through a wellness perspective, we gain a richer story and deeper understanding of their lives. By learning this new approach, key insights can guide daily decisions and interactions that result in a higher quality of life for the animals, as well as those caring for them.
Everything we do at AWI is focused on advancing wellness approaches so every animal can live a life based upon their own goals and needs. As such, we focus our energies on three main pathways. First, we actively conduct ground-breaking research in how wellness can better prevent, identify, assess, and track life factors at both the individual and group level. Second, we share our knowledge to inspire innovation and change in the healthcare and welfare sectors. Third, we offer tailored, experiential training to organizations and professionals to provide a first-hand appreciation of the power of wellness.

We provide information and resources to older people who are looking for the services they need

In 1955, when Denver Mayor Quigg Newton invited fellow elected officials from Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder and Jefferson counties to talk about joint issues and concerns, our region was in the midst of a post-World War II growth spurt. These leaders decided working together to enhance our region’s quality of life was a much better approach than going it alone, and created the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) to foster collaboration and cooperation and to speak with one voice.

Established in 1974, the Area Agency on Aging 1-B (AAA 1-B) is a nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization with a rich history of supporting older adults, people with disabilities and family caregivers in southeast Michigan. We are part of a national network of Area Agencies on Aging and a leader in aging services in a six-county region that includes Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair and Washtenaw counties. We help people access the services and programs they need to remain living independently and with dignity in their own home or with family caregivers. We provide direct care programs for seniors, along with funding and support for many programs provided by our community partner organizations.
