We got news that Yecid is found alive and well.

We have reached out to the venue where he was seen last and also the possible concert venue where he might have gone to. But we really need to get the message out to wider public.

Wow

Protecting Medicaid for Older Adults: What's at Risk and What Advocates Can Do (Webinar) YouTube video by Justice in Aging

Thousands of advocates attended our recent webinar to learn about the potential impact of proposed #Medicaid cuts, and what our communities can do to defend against them.

I spent 30 minutes trying to undo underlined parts of a document and it wasn’t working. Only to realize that the track changes was on and I was just rewriting the same part over and over.

Ah! So wonderful to hear that our work resonated. Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to possible collabs in the future.

Heartbreaking.

I find it to be an equitable way to facilitate classes, after all I am here to learn from students as much as to share my knowledge.

For example: in the Adult Education course students have 45 minutes to facilitate a critical dialogue on a topic of their choosing. Even if it’s beyond the topics stated in the syllabus.

I then ask students to share their vision for the course and we find a way to meet in the middle.

I am often faced with a fact that students have a different vision for a course than I do. So, in every one of my classes I do a disclaimer:

There is interesting research on why individuals whose identities are tied to career (lawyers, doctors, politicians, etc) are reluctant to retire. And it’s not loss of income, it’s “who am I if not…” thinking.

Followed your course last year, it was very helpful.

Love this critical hope framing.

This resonated so much. Once one little thing changes in the system, the domino effect completely derails one’s day…

Cycling in the city is so intimidating, but in winter even more! What a great encouraging video.

Agree, that’s why we need better support systems in place.

So true.

That’s amazing! Our study was actually inspired by seeing our immigrant parents learning to navigate platforms with COVID-19 information. The world has shifted online so quickly for the benefit of “older adults among us” effectively leaving so many of them with no tools to navigate the pandemic.

As more seniors head online, efforts are needed to help their digital media literacy skills | CBC News Canadian seniors haven't been the focus of many digital media literacy initiatives, but with more everyday tasks requiring digital fluency, misinformation swirling online and given the influence this ...

Learning is a lifelong project. Just because someone is older doesn’t mean they 1) can’t learn or 2) need to be patronized when they do. Our research clearly shows that with support learning doesn’t have to stop. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Thank you @bettyslai.bsky.social! The bootcamp is such a great program, learning a lot from you!

Demi Moore and Jodie Foster on focusing on themselves in their 60s: 'It feels pretty damn good' Foster, who won an award for her role in True Detective: Night Country, said she is ‘excited’ for the rest of her life and the ‘wisdom’ she can bring.

"A lot of our energy... as mothers or in caretaking, has gone outward, and it’s a time when we can actually stop and bring that energy back to ourselves, and it feels pretty damn good.”

We will be happy to share our research!

Her mother was struggling with dementia. Then she had an idea that transformed her — and other isolated seniors in the GTA Marina Korneeva started a social club in the party room of her condo building. The positive impacts were immediate, but now the club’s future is in doubt.

Opportunities for social connection and engagement change the lives of people who have #Alzheimers disease and other forms of #dementia, and for those who offer them love and support.
