In this two-part Demystifying Diversity podcast with Daralyse Lyons, Trish D'Antonio, Vice President of Policy and Professional Affairs, GSA, and other podcast guests explore how Ageism is interwoven into the fabric of American society and its implications for issues like elder abuse and intergenerational connections.

As healthcare professionals working on the frontlines of the Covid-19 pandemic, you are confronted daily with communication choices. Research by the FrameWorks Institute on aging and ageism shows that words matter. This webinar presented by the Reframing Aging Initiative will cover four ideas to keep in mind when talking about older people and health equity in health care settings during the pandemic.

Presented by:

• Patricia M. D'Antonio, BSPharm, MS, MBA, BCGP, Vice President, Professional Affairs, GSA, and Project Director, Reframing Aging Initiative
• Helen Fernandez, MD, Professor of Geriatrics, Palliative Medicine, and Medical Education, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
• Moira O'Neil, PhD, Vice President for Research Interpretation, FrameWorks Institute

The Reframing Aging Initiative is a long-term social endeavor designed to improve the public’s understanding of what aging means and the many ways that older people contribute to society. Its sister project, Reframing Elder Abuse, aims to demonstrate how we can put elder abuse on the public agenda, generate a sense of collective responsibility, and boost support for systemic solutions to address elder abuse. This webinar will build understanding of both projects, discuss where they overlap, and build awareness about the impact of ageism on society.

Presented by:

• Patricia M. D'Antonio, BSPharm, MS, MBA, BCGP, Vice President, Professional Affairs, GSA, and Project Director, Reframing Aging Initiative
• Laurie Gibson Lindberg, Project Manager, Reframing Aging Initiative, GSA
• Aly Neumann,Project Coordinator, Reframing Elder Abuse, NCEA

Many of us are concerned by the ageism exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this webinar, the presenters offer ways that we can respond using empirically-supported narratives developed by the FrameWorks Institute for the Reframing Aging Initiative and other projects to frame the public discourse on social and scientific issues. Review the webinar and slides to learn strategies for connecting COVID-19 and aging without perpetuating ageist tropes.
