ABOUT
In this webinar, Dr. Michelle Porter and Dallas Murphy, join CNPEA and EAPO in defining internalized ageism, by providing examples and explaining potential consequences of this form of ageism. They will share information about a program developed at the Centre on Aging at the University of Manitoba called ‘Reimagine Aging’.
The program was created to counter internalized ageism (or self-ageism) in older people. The webinar will include: a fuller description of the research findings from the program, as well as other aspects of the program offerings, including future directions.
