Myth: Age groups are in competition with one another. Fact: We are better together than divided. Competition among age groups takes away from what we can accomplish together. Picture: Garrard County Intergenerational Summer Reading Camp #AgeismAwarenessDay #TalkAboutAgeism

Myth: Older adults are not in the workforce. Fact: In 2023, 11.2 million Americans over the age of 65 were in the labor force. #AgeismAwarenessDay #TalkAboutAgeism

Ageism is how we think (stereotypes), feel (prejudice) and act (discrimination) toward people based on their age. It happens when we think and behave as if a person’s age tells enough about them for us to make a judgement. #AgeismAwarenessDay #TalkAboutAgeism

Today is Ageism Awareness Day! Follow along with us today as we share facts about ageism and discuss how it affects everyone no matter what age. #ageism #AgeismAwarenessDay #TalkAboutAgeism
