The Future is Old: How Caregivers Can Combat Ageism & Promote Dignity

Ageism is one of society’s most ingrained prejudices, affecting not only how we view older adults but how we see ourselves as we age.
For caregivers, understanding the impact of ageism is crucial in providing the best care and  promoting well-being for those you support.
This webinar will explore the power of language, attitude, and belief in shaping how we age. Learn how adopting positive age beliefs can increase longevity, enhance quality of life, and change the trajectory for both caregivers and care recipient.
By shifting the narrative and challenging harmful stereotypes, you can help instill a deep sense of value and respect in yourself and those you care for. 

Join us in creating a future where aging is embraced, not feared.

Our speaker: Jenna Wickens is the MatureMinds Coordinator at CFS Counseling & Wellbeing, where she provides advocacy, education, programs, volunteer opportunities, and community resource consultation for older adults. As a Certified Professional Consultant on Aging, Jenna is dedicated to raising awareness and ensuring that “growing old” is viewed as an opportunity rather than a liability.
