Recognizing and Combatting Ageism during the Covid-19 Pandemic and Beyond

While it has always been present in our society, the Covid-19 pandemic has pointed a spotlight on the devastating consequences of ageism. Join the ElderSAFE Center for an interactive webinar on ageism, from the macro level down to the individual level. With the help of national experts, attendees will learn to recognize their own internal biases and how these ageist stereotypes affect how they view and support older adults. Finally, attendees will learn about promising practices to combat ageism.
