Fact Finding

As you gear up for Ageism Awareness Day on Oct. 9 (just 40 days from now) you might find yourself wishing for a handy cheat sheet full of facts, figures, definitions, and excellent references. And you’re in luck!

The American Society on Aging has created a thorough fact sheet that spells out what ageism is, how it harms us, where it shows up, and more. Dozens of informative statements link to dozens of additional resources.

Head to asaging.org/ageism-awareness and scroll down to the “Choose what works for you section,” then check out the second bullet—"Share Facts About Ageism.”
