Celebrating Aging Makes a Difference

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines ageism as the stereotypes (what we think), prejudice (what we feel), and discrimination (how we act) based on age, which can be directed towards oneself or others. Ageism is not just a US issue; it is a global issue. Ageism affects everyone's health and well-being. The first step to start combatting ageism is to be aware of when it shows up and get curious. Kyrie provides insights and examples that help us increase our awareness. And once you are aware, you need resources. Visit the Old School Age Equity hub (OldSchool.info) to equip yourself to combat ageism whenever it shows up!
