Click Here to Register for this Event
What will it take for us to all live healthy, engaged and secure lives in our homes and in the communities we love? It won’t be enough for us to be personally informed and activated to make necessary changes. We must also be served by strong community organizations, live in communities that are intentionally designed to meet the needs of people at every age, and be supported by public policies and social norms that value health and well-being in later life.
Join the TSLCA for a two half-day virtual summit exploring what it means for us, and our organizations, communities and systems to be “longevity-ready.” We’ll use this new report from the Milken Institute as a framework to explore the components of “longevity ready” and learn about the ecosystem we need to build, promising practices, and actions we can all individually take to make progress. More details coming soon!
Each ticket bought provides admittance for one person to both days of the Summit. We look forward to seeing you there! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Willow at wdansbury@mainecouncilonaging.org with any questions or if the cost of attending feels inaccessible!
Healthy Aging on the Seacoast
Highlighting the Organizations Working Towards Age-Inclusivity
Wednesday May 20th & 27th 2-3:30pm on Zoom
Click Here to Register for this Event
The seacoast region is home to a growing number of organizations committed to building communities where people of all ages are valued, included, and empowered to thrive. This two-part webinar series shines a spotlight on the innovative and dedicated groups leading that charge — from grassroots initiatives to established programs — all working to challenge ageist attitudes, promote the health and well-being of older adults, and create more age-inclusive communities across the region.
Join us for both sessions to hear directly from the people behind this meaningful work. Each webinar will feature organizations sharing their approaches, successes, and visions for a future where aging is met with dignity and opportunity rather than bias or barriers. More details soon!
A special thank you to the Foundation for Seacoast Health for their generous support of the TSLCA!
