This Wednesday, August 5 at noon, we are offering our Reframing Aging during COVID-19 workshop.
It's geared for organizations, media and individuals who talk about aging-related issues as part of their work, and who are interested in using more inclusive, research-based language and messages, especially in light of COVID-19.
Why do we need to reframe now?
We’ve heard from many of you how dismayed you are about the way older adults are being portrayed during this time, as universally “weak, vulnerable, elderly.” You know that this reinforces stereotypes that are not true for the overwhelming majority of older people, and is harmful. As one colleague shared with me: This has set back the movement of recognizing that older people are assets at least 20 years!
REGISTER TODAY—Tomorrow morning, we'll be sending out the Zoom link for the workshop to all who have registered.
