Celebrating 20 Years
In January 1999, the UCCS Aging Center (then called the CU Aging Center) opened its doors in the Golf Acres Shopping Center on North Hancock Avenue in Colorado Springs. Its purpose was to serve as a training clinic for the still-developing UCCS doctoral program in clinical geropsychology as well as a community mental health clinic for underserved older adults.
The Aging Center is a community-based non-profit mental health services facility administered by the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS), and is the primary practicum training site for the APA accredited clinical psychology Ph.D. program. It is currently one of the few geropsychology training clinics in the nation linking the academic standards of excellence and innovative clinical training with the practical needs of the community. The Aging Center provides comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessment and treatment services to individuals 55+ as well as their families, trains graduate students in clinical geropsychology and supports the study of psychological aging processes.
