Program description

We live in a very youth-oriented society. People are constantly bombarded by messages that celebrate youth and are negative about aging and older people. This program will help you reimagine your own aging and discover your own value in older adulthood. This program hopes to provide you with an opportunity to learn and discuss these negative messages about aging, how they might affect you or others, and how you might challenge them. We hope that your participation in this program will result in positive changes in how you think about your own aging and aging in general.
