Resource Directory for Mid-Life and Older Women in the Fargo – Moorhead – West Fargo – Dilworth Metro
Abstract
The purpose of this project is to identify and compile information on public/private resources, services, and supports that will assist a vulnerable population of women, aged 50 years and older, living in the Fargo/Moorhead metropolitan area. The goal of the project is to compile information into a user-friendly resource directory, which supports these women by addressing the difficulties threatening their security and ability to live healthy and productive lives. Dissemination of the resource directory will begin with availability in the Institutional Repository, under collections on the North Dakota State University library home page. Eventually, a website/blog will be created so the resource directory is accessible to an older population as they gravitate towards the digital world. Links to the directory will be made available to the NDSU Extension Service, and women’s organizations that support this population.
