A New Resource – Aging for Life

Aging for Life logoStarting next month is a new online video series, Aging for Life which will feature a conversation about aging, with a focus on changing the way most of us feel about growing old.  The first episode will feature blogger and author Ashton Applewhite.  In addition to her blog and book, Ashton recently introduced Old School, an online clearinghouse of free and carefully vetted resources to educate people about ageism and help dismantle it.  Also featured with be Radical Age Movement founder Alice Fisher, who will review how her organization challenges members to confront and call out ageism.  (I am also an active volunteer for RAM.)  The website will offer:

  • an archive of the research done for the TV show
  • a place to ask questions, make suggestions, and view your contributions
  • a place to view the show online

Society floods us with negative impressions about getting older.  Aging for Life offers a new way to think about what we have to look forward to.  After all, as the tagline for the new site reminds us, we’re all aging, why not do it positively?
