Rebelling Against Ageism with Ashton Applewhite: Part 2

Raeann Rideout, host, and co-host April Struthers, continue their stimulating conversation with guest Ashton Applewhite on Ageism. Ashton shares her powerful insights on how we internalize aging and inspires listeners to embrace aging and call out stereotypes and age-based assumptions. We learn how ageism and disrespect are key drivers of the mistreatment of older adults and through shifting ageist attitudes and behaviours, we can help to create communities where older people feel safe, valued and respected, and elder abuse is prevented before it occurs. We all have a role to play in consciousness-raising to create a more age-just society. Ashton leaves listeners with practical tips for encouraging more intergenerational conversations on aging and tips for empowering older adults to stand up for their rights and others to stop ageism.

Our Call to Action is for listeners to check out the Old School Hub to learn more about ageism.

We are all growing older, so let's change your future now. We can all be part of the movement to end ageism.
