Ageism Awareness Day is October 9, 2024. Did you know that ageism affects our self-perceptions of aging and that those with more positive self-perceptions about aging live 7.5 years longer than those with a less positive perception of their own aging? Ageism also harms us financially as individuals and harms our economy! Ageism in marketing and media contributes to negative perceptions.
Ageism is a vital topic to discuss with your colleagues. Please consider bringing up the topic next week. We have attached a great fact sheet to help you!
We'd love to hear how you incorporated even a brief discussion about ageism as you go about your professional and personal lives.
