What comes to mind when you think of aging?
Do you think of thriving diversity and growth, or debility and disdain? Research tells us that our beliefs about aging impact how well and how long we live. In this program, learn where our ageist beliefs come from and how to identify them in our lives. Start to uncover and reset your own internalized negative age beliefs by debunking age myths. Get an easy-to-use tool to become a paradigm-shifting, narrative-changing champion of aging for yourself and future generations. Presented by Washington County Disability, Aging & Veterans Services.
