    Building Bridges: Intergenerational Classrooms
    2025/08/20
    We live in a society that is increasingly separating individuals into age-based groups, which can lead to limited interaction and the potential for negative stereotypes and discrimination, particularly towards older adults. So how can we best address this to build connections and relationships between age groups and generations. In this episode of Aging Vibrantly, host Raeann Rideout and co-host April Struthers, we feature the University of Toronto’s Intergenerational classroom, with guests Dr. Raza Mirza, professor and creator of the program, alongside with Florene Shuber a senior participant of the course, who is also a resident of Christie Gardens, a retirement and Long-term care home where the course is hosted. We explore a new and novel approach of Intergenerational Classrooms which breaks down barriers between generations, offers a safe space to discuss ageism and allows students to explore aging from a viewpoint that considers the perspectives of both older and younger generations. You will be inspired about the impacts this program has had on enriching the lives of students, seniors and teachers, opening doors for students to pursue careers in the field of aging, as well as the relationships that emerged through the intergenerational engagements and most impressive of all the transformational learning experiences. Learn more about how you can be part of joining the intergenerational network across the country.

    Preparing for Caregiving
    2025/07/23
    Are you providing or receiving care? In this episode of Aging Vibrantly, we speak with Amy Coupal, CEO of Ontario Caregivers Organization (OCO). Podcast host, Raeann Rideout and co-host Tom Warner, learned about the amazing work the OCO conducts to support Ontario’s four million caregivers who provide physical and/or emotional support to family members, partners, friends and neighbours. Our discussion led to understanding the current and future concerns and complexities, prospective caregivers are facing in Ontario and what may be needed support them, based on OCO’s recent Preparing to Care Report. We also speak about the many benefits and joys of being a caregiver, but also the challenges and caregiver readiness; willingness and ability to meet the growing demand. The conversation brought to light the need for systemic changes to provide support for caregivers and receivers and the urgent need to take action to implement and expand services now to meet the growing needs and health care demands of seniors and caregivers in the future. We highlight the vast offerings OCO provides to caregivers, including OCO's free online and group or individual counselling programs, peer support and ‘I am a caregiver Toolkit’, e-Learning and more! During this episode you will learn: Caregiving brings joy when supporting someone important to you, and challenges when managing finances; navigating health care; and possible isolation. Insights from OCO’s, Preparing to Care: Perspectives of Ontarians who expect to be a caregiver in the next 5 years. The number of Ontarians providing physical or emotional support to a family member, partner, friend, or neighbour could increase by more than 50% - from 4 to 6.5 million people. 2.7 million Ontarians are expecting to face caregiving demands but have already decided they can’t or won’t do it. How can we prepare to be caregivers in the future? Until next time - Stay Vibrant! ______________________________ References and Resources Ontario Caregiver Organization OCO provides caregivers with one point of access to information, services, and supports that empower and help enable caregivers to be successful in their role. Where gaps exist in caregiver programs and services, OCO partners with caregivers, health care providers, and other organizations to find new and innovative ways to bridge those gaps so all caregivers, regardless of age, condition, or geographic location have access to the help they need.
