Opinion piece by Senior Community Services CEO Deb Taylor: When aging begins to take a toll, rather than falling prey to feelings of irritation or impatience toward older adults, let’s respond with our better nature & do as they did when we were children. minnpost.com/community-voice…

Ageism: The persistent ‘ism’

We need to work harder to engender more positive views of older adults.

In caring for our elders and getting older ourselves, we must address the stigma around aging. And to age well in our communities, "we all deserve choices." Thanks for this touching and insightful message, @SCS_MN 👉🏽 bit.ly/3PbqOe4

“Maybe it’s not one step forward, two steps back. It’s more like baby steps forward. The net is the same result: It is still forward movement.” – @rajeanm, Associate Director of Education at @UMNCHAI minnpost.com/mental-health-a…

'It is still forward movement': How a statewide survey is measuring societal progress for LGBTQ...

The majority of respondents don’t want to go to the “LGBTQ Senior Center.” They want to go to the senior center down the street, where they are near their neighbors and friends.
