    Countering Ageism by Changing How We Talk About Aging

     

Why Reframing Aging?

The Reframing Aging Initiative is a long-term social change endeavor designed to improve the public’s understanding of what aging means and the many ways that older people contribute to our society. This greater understanding will counter ageism and guide our nation’s approach to ensuring supportive policies and programs for us all as we move through the life course. 

Julie Sweetland of FrameWorks Institute offers a two-minute overview of the key concepts behind the Reframing Aging Initiative.
