Reframing Aging
The National Center to Reframe Aging is leading an initiative that seeks to promote a greater understanding of aging and implicit bias to create a more equitable and inclusive story about aging in America. Based on research by the Frameworks Institute, the Center has created resources that offer communication strategies and tools to help organizations and individuals effectively frame issues around aging and confront the injustice of ageism.
The West End Home Foundation is proud to be a partner in this important effort. Our resources page has a number of articles and tools that address both reframing aging and confronting ageism. Posted here are three tools that were created specifically for the needs and interests of aging service providers in Middle TN.
