SUMMARY
In this session, Rajean Moone from the University of Minnesota will be joined by Hannah Albers from the National Center to Reframe Aging. Together, they will introduce strategies to shift the narrative when you encounter ageist comments or assumptions - including how to recognize unhelpful frames and how to replace them with productive, inclusive alternatives.
- Understand how reframing strategies - not rebuttals - can effectively shift conversations about aging.
- Practice real-world examples of reframed examples to build your confidence in responding constructively when ageist assumptions or statements are made
- Draft a personal strategy to respond to ageist comments or stereotypes in your personal or professional life using evidence-based principles
