TH141 Project Talent: Tell Your Story<br />
9:00 AM | Randolph 3 (East Tower, Bronze Level)<br />
Since 2010, Project Talent (PT) researchers have attended<br />
hundreds of 50th high school reunions for the original participants<br />
of the 1960 study. We heard stories that surprised and<br />
moved us. We realized that PT is more than an aging study; it is<br />
a living portrait of one of the most transformational generations<br />
in American history. We will showcase findings of the recently<br />
initiated PT aging study, paired with the voices of those who are<br />
being studied.<br />

TH145 Combating Guardianship and Conservatorship<br />
Abuse: Challenges and Successes<br />
9:00 AM | Columbus KL (East Tower, Gold Level)<br />
As the boomer population ages, the numbers of people affected<br />
by guardianship and conservatorship will rise tremendously. The<br />
principle is noble: Make sure that those who cannot take care of<br />
themselves have someone or an institution watching out for their<br />
interests. But the system is rife with abuse and exploitation. We’ll<br />
discuss what’s been done to improve it, what problems persist<br />
and what professionals who work with older adults need to know.<br />
