Community Partnerships:
The role of the Community Partnerships Committee is to assist the Commission on Aging with identifying emerging needs in the community. The Community Partnerships Committee is made up of local organizations that work directly with and provide services for older adults, their caregivers and their families. Committee members review the Commission's proposed projects and provide feedback for consideration. With operational and administrative support, the Committee facilitates the realization of the Commission's vision to make Orange County an elder-friendly community.

Central Florida Mental Health and Aging Coalition:
Established in January 2004, the Central Florida Mental Health and Aging Coalition promotes optimal mental health and aging and substance abuse services for older adults in Central Florida through collaboration, advocacy and education. This is the second regional coalition of its kind to be established in Florida and is associated with the statewide Coalition for Optimal Mental Health and Aging. The Office on Aging is one of several agencies that provides staff support to this ad-hoc coalition.
