Reducing the Impact of Ageism on Victim Services
Bias- we all have it whether we want to admit it or not. When our biases go unchecked, it can turn into prejudice. Ageism is an insidious prejudice that affects each and every one of us. Presenters will delve into natural realities of aging, societal biases held, explore the nuances and effects of ageism, and brainstorm ideas to make services more welcoming. Through lecture and interaction, we promote self awareness and thoughtful inclusion.
