To present Senior Hope as a case study of an agency using the RIS model.
To examine how RIS intervenes in the link between ACEs and co-occurring disorders in older adults.
To demonstrate how ACE-informed programs mobilize resilience and recovery for positive mental health outcomes.

Main Methods:

An empirical case study methodology was employed.
The study focused on Senior Hope, a social service agency.
The RIS model's application in developing ACE-informed programs was analyzed.

Main Results:
