How to Reframe the Aging Narrative: Celebrating Vitality

Our communities are stronger when they include the full scope of our energy, including the contributions of older people, individuals living with dementia, and individuals with disabilities. This webinar examines the importance of advancing age and ability-based equity. It affirms local governments as powerful and respected change agents. And it provides practical guidance toward more inclusive communities, which tend to demonstrate deeper connection, improved health, and higher rates of economic growth.
