Since 1995, the Asian Pacific Institute has been the home of the Elder Care Workshop series. These week-long workshops are sponsored annually by the Sun Life Social Welfare Organization of Japan.
The workshop provides an opportunity for Japanese care providers, social workers, nurses and others to share experiences with their colleagues in the United States and to further develop capacity for intentional whole-person practice.
