Do More, Feel Better (DMFB), is a research project testing the effectiveness of behavioral activation delivered by lay health peer coaches versus clinicians funded by the National Institute of Mental health (R01 MH124966).  It is a collaborative project with Dr. Patrick Raue at University of Washington and Dr. Amber Gum at University of South Florida. This project, launched in 2021, partners with senior centers throughout the city of New York to provide services to their members and broader community. The project expanded in 2023 to serve monolingual Spanish speakers and meet the mental health needs of this population. Do More Feel Better is currently enrolling older adult participants in Spanish and English across three states. Find out more about our project and partners!
