Aging isn’t a challenge to overcome; it’s our perception of aging that needs a shift. Negative perceptions and stereotypes about aging can significantly affect older adults, diminishing their self-worth, independence, safety, mental and physical health, social life and financial wellbeing.
Join British Columbia’s Seniors Advocate, Dan Levitt, to discover how ageism hides in our everyday conversations and occurrences. Be part of a conversation about how we can change the narrative on aging to foster a culture where older adults contribute to our communities and enhance quality of life across the age continuum.
*The program is not offered by Centre for Resilience, Learning & Growth – it is led by a community partner. However, we wanted to share information about the program as it may benefit the communities we work with.
