About this event
"Age pride is for everyone who refuses to regret waking up a day older, who acknowledges long life as the privilege it is and who is prepared to challenge the power structures that underlie all discrimination." Ashton Applewhite
This session will be a conversation about how a positive attitude about aging can translate into a longer, healthier life. Ageist beliefs can directly impact personal health, the ability to age well, and even the economy. In this workshop we will discuss ageism and anti-age bias, examine how our ways of speaking and portrayals of aging in popular culture express our beliefs about getting older, and work on reframing our own attitudes about aging. Let's all together envision a world where being older is a respected advantage. Suggested follow up readings and actions will be discussed. Jude Rabig, a gerontologist and NNN Board Member will be leading this discussion. Join us for this free event and learn what’s so great about aging!!
Any NNN members requesting transportation to this event, please do so by 10/2/2024.
