Thrilled to have Reframing Aging at our session today, and to hear about their work in their session! Language is a huge part of culture change, it's wonderful to have partners like @ReframingAging and @CHCShealth in this movement against ageism and for aging equity
Goal #3 in the @ILAgingTogether Campaign is shifting the narrative around #Aging. They shared today at #APHA2022 that we cannot achieve true equity if we’re reluctant to talk about aging. @RRFAging — we’re well on our way to making IL a #ReframingAging state! 🎉 #agingsocool

Trauma is known to impact all of the social determinants of health, which touch every facet of our lives. #MyTraumaInformedIL would implement programs throughout the lifecourse to address the roots of trauma & our responses to it, mitigating the lasting influence it has on us.
