Ageism, discrimination based on age, has been called the last publicly-condoned form of discrimination. Older people have been consistently marginalized across various domains from employment to health care treatment, recreation and housing; However, in general, ageism isn’t recognized as a problem. This lack of public recognition perpetuates ageism and makes it difficult to reduce the discrimination.
Ageism is a justice issue. Our social work core values of social justice and dignity and worth of the person are prevalent in confronting ageism and bringing about social change. As professionals, we must be aware of our implicit biases. Don’t miss this presentation which not only highlights this silent “-ism” but explores actions needed to change personal and societal view toward aging. Key takeaways: Attendees will 1) Define ageism and explore ageist-related comments and microaggressions 2) Learn of the negative impact of ageism on the physical and mental health and well-being of individuals 3) Examine the ethical responsibility of social workers to fight against ageism, and advocate for social justice for all older adults and 4) Explore the re-framing in communication and behavior needed to change the societal view of growing older in the United States.
