"Embracing Aging to Build an Age-Positive Maine" Webinar

This webinar was recorded on February 15th, 2023. Event description: What we think, feel, and believe about getting older matters. If we live with positive beliefs about our own aging, research has found that we’re likely to live 7.5 years longer than those who believe aging is about disease and decline. Age-positive beliefs also lead to better brain health and less chronic disease and anxiety. This presentation will focus on helping people to understand the structure and levels of ageism along with how age-bias manifests itself into our society so that we may better combat ageism to build a more age-positive culture in Maine. Don Harden is a founding board member of the Maine Council on Aging and coordinates the Power in Aging Project, MCOA’s new anti-ageism campaign. He has been affiliated with Catholic Charities Maine for over 43 years most recently as Director of Aging Services. He was co-convener of the Maine Aging Initiative’s Workgroup on Workforce and the Economy, served on the Legislative Commission to Study Long-term Care Workforce Issues, and represents the voice of older workers on the State Workforce Board.
