About Us: Therapy for Elders Mandarin Chinese Speaking

Our Journey Begins

2007 marked the birth of an idea—a passion to bridge the communication gap between older adults fluent in Mandarin Chinese and the resources available to them in their later years. This vision inspired the creation of Therapy for Elders Mandarin Chinese Speaking (TEMCS), a dedicated online platform aimed at providing valuable insights and support for this unique demographic.

Over the past decade, TEMCS has evolved from a modest online resource to a trusted news website, becoming an indispensable companion for elders and their families. Here are some key milestones:

  • 2010: Launched our first article series on mental health awareness among older adults in Mandarin Chinese.
  • 2012: Expanded our reach by partnering with local senior centers, hosting workshops, and organizing support groups.
  • 2015: Introduced a user-friendly forum where readers could share experiences and seek advice from peers.
  • 2018: Achieved significant growth with over 50,000 monthly visitors, becoming the go-to source for Mandarin Chinese-speaking elders.
  • 2022: Celebrated our 15th year, refining our content to include a diverse range of topics relevant to an aging population.

Our Purpose and Mission

TEMCS is dedicated to empowering older adults by providing accessible, culturally sensitive information and resources related to their well-being. We strive to:
