Care Partners of Cook County and Cook County Higher Education invite you to a Lunch & Learn series designed to support aging well in our community. Presented the fourth Wednesday of the month from noon to 1pm at Cook County Higher Ed, the series will feature speakers from area organizations including the Arrowhead Area Agency on Aging, The Hub/Cook County Senior Center, the Alzheimer’s Association of Northern MN, and more. Topics will include senior health and fitness, how to create an aging-friendly home, estate planning, and cultural perspectives on growing older.
March 22– Pushing Back Against Ageism
Widespread biases and misconceptions about aging abound – and they can affect our own expectations about growing older. Our attitudes about aging have an impact on our quality of life, health and even longevity. The Arrowhead Area Agency on Aging will join us to discuss how ageism can influence us, and how we can contribute toward a more positive narrative about aging.
Coffee and a light dessert will be provided. The event is free if you join via Zoom, come to the in-person event without lunch, or bring your own lunch.
