Overview
Ageism is in many ways the other “ism” that we often forget about, yet subtlety, find ourselves perpetuating.
Negative attitudes toward aging have been deep seeded into our global history. Dr. Robert N. Butler was the first to
coin the term ageism to speak to the negative attitudes on aging. This workshop will dissect ageism and the subtle
forms that we often see in our profession. Not only will we examine how the world views aging adults, but we will
also dive into how seniors view themselves and the psychology of aging. This session will be highly interactive with
case studies and role-play to help attendees understand the aging population. Attendees will leave with the
takeaway tools necessary to be more sensitive and attuned to our interactions with older adults.
By Attending Our Workshop, You Will Be Able To:
- State the definition of ageism
- Identify common psychosocial needs of older adults
- State the four types of ageism
