Dementia Alliance International event flier

DAI Brain Health Hub

Join Dementia Alliance International on Monday, May 10 for a Brain Health Hub meeting covering "Ageism and Your Health."

Ageism costs the U.S. $63 billion and accounts for 1.7 million of the most expensive medical and mental health conditions per year. Ageism is a global pandemic disproportionately affecting older adults.

Learn how ageism affects your health and mental health (including dementia), and gain tips for shifting from an ageist view of aging to a more positive one.

In this presentation, Dr. Koepp will:

• Summarize three types of ageism and the impact of ageism on older adults’ health and mental health
• Discuss intersections between age and other identity variables (such as disability, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation) related to mental health
• Identify ways in which ageism influences medical and mental health care, including increasing rates of illness and restricting access to care
• List strategies to reduce ageism and promote access to medical and mental health care

This event is FREE to attend and will be held virtually. Registration is required here. To see the Facebook event, visit here.
