  • Supportive Conversations with Older Adults

    Supportive Conversations with Older Adults
    Jan 17 2025
    Having a Supportive Conversation with an older adult we care about or are concerned about for their safety and well-being can be difficult, awkward and sometimes intimidating. In this episode, we help overcome people’s hesitation in reaching out and ways to empower a supportive conversation. Be reassured it's not about “fixing” a problem, it's about starting a SNCit conversation with an older adult you are concerned about. This three step conversation framework, called “SNCit”, will inform and empower you to have supportive conversations with someone you are concerned about in your family or community. We also discuss how to overcome the hesitation to help and what to say when someone does not want help. Remember, whether you are a caregiver, a concerned family member, friend, or a professional working with seniors, your support can make a positive impact in the lives of older adults by just askingthe question, ”Are you ok?” Just know, your small actions can make a big difference. In this episode you will learn: Overview of the It’s Not Right (INR), Neighbours, Friends and Families for Older Adults national campaign and framework.How to start a conversation when you are worried about someone who may be vulnerable or experiencing elder abuse.

    Rebelling Against Ageism with Ashton Applewhite: Part 2

    Rebelling Against Ageism with Ashton Applewhite: Part 2

    Raeann Rideout, host, and co-host April Struthers, continue their stimulating conversation with guest Ashton Applewhite on Ageism. Ashton shares her powerful insights on how we internalize aging and inspires listeners to embrace aging and call out stereotypes and age-based assumptions. We learn how ageism and disrespect are key drivers of the mistreatment of older adults and through shifting ageist attitudes and behaviours, we can help to create communities where older people feel safe, valued and respected, and elder abuse is prevented before it occurs. We all have a role to play in consciousness-raising to create a more age-just society. Ashton leaves listeners with practical tips for encouraging more intergenerational conversations on aging and tips for empowering older adults to stand up for their rights and others to stop ageism.

    Our Call to Action is for listeners to check out the Old School Hub to learn more about ageism.

    We are all growing older, so let's change your future now. We can all be part of the movement to end ageism.

  • Rebelling Against Ageism with Ashton Applewhite : Part 1

    Rebelling Against Ageism with Ashton Applewhite : Part 1
    Jan 7 2025

    Title: Rebelling Against Ageism with Ashton Applewhite : Part 1

    Episode 1 & 2 topic: Ageism

    Welcome to Aging Vibrantly, Conversations to Empower Seniors, an Elder Abuse Prevention Ontario podcast, where we amplify the voices of seniors who impart their expertise and wisdom, to enhance our understanding of aging issues and ways of living a safe and fulfilling life with respect and dignity.

    In this episode, Raeann Rideout, host, is joined with her co-host April Struthers to interview guest Ashton Applewhite for a lively discussion on Ageism. We discuss the prevalence of ageism, its impacts, the need for more intergenerational dialogue and her advocacy work in creating a social movement to dismantle ageism and embrace a world of all ages, including Ageism Awareness campaigns that are growing the conversation and resulting in positive social change.

    Ashton is an internationally recognized expert on ageism, the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism and co-founder of the Old School Hub. She welcomes people of all ages to learn about ageism and how to break down the barriers.

    Main Points in Episode 1:

    World Health Organization (WHO)

    Global studies indicate, one in two people are ageist.

    We all are biased, stereotypes begin at an early age

    WHO found health and lifespan can be expanded by understanding ageism

    Awareness of ageism has increased; WHO report

    A world for all ages, any age judgment is ageist: ‘too young or too old’

    Defining Ageism

    Give age too much power to shape our impressions

    No prejudice is rational - No ‘ism’ should not be tolerated

    Ageism is in language we use everyday, need to avoid young and old language

    Of all “isms”, ageism is the least explored or studied

    Discriminating against our future older selves

    Heterogeneity in society - age at different rates, are shaped by our unique differences which makes us more unique as we age

    Challenge now is to change how we Think, Feel and Act about aging

    Ageism

    Most tolerated ‘ism’’

    Trying to be inclusive without being ageist

    Once you see ageism in yourself, you see ageism in other places

    Ageism is embedded in our social economic structure

    Social change is slow and hard

    Progress is being made in changing attitudes and behaviours

    October 19th is now recognized as Ageism Awareness Day, a National Anti-Ageism Campaign
