The words we use matter. By reframing how we talk about aging and older adults, we can challenge ageism, strengthen community support, and create a more complete and accurate story about aging. The National Center to Reframe Aging provides evidence-based communication strategies that help shift attitudes and inspire action.

Whether you're just getting started or looking to deepen your understanding, we encourage you and your community partners to join us for these upcoming learning opportunities.

📍 Upcoming In-Person Reframing Aging Workshops for you and your community partners!

Join MCOA and certified Reframing Aging facilitator Alrie McNiff Daniels for an interactive workshop exploring how the way we talk about aging shapes attitudes, policies, and community support. Participants will learn to recognize ageism, challenge common stereotypes, and use research-based communication strategies that promote a more accurate and inclusive narrative about aging. Together, we can build stronger communities for people of all ages.
