A coalition of eight aging organizations has developed a new toolkit designed to help aging advocates change the ageism narrative. “Gaining Momentum” seeks to reverse ageist assumptions about older adults and reframe the public view of elders. The toolkit provides reports and briefs on reframing aging and ageism as well as guides for reframing communications about ageing. Click here or on the graphic above to access the toolkit.
