September is #SuicidePreventionMonth. Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is ask “How are you doing?” & truly listen to the answer. By being there, you can be in the position to connect them to support like the 24/7 @988Lifeline. Start a Conversation. Be the Difference.

We join in flipping the script on aging this #OlderAmericansMonth. Associate Prof/@CHAIatNYU Director Ernest Gonzales challenges the view that growing older is all about decline. Instead, he says older adults should be celebrated for the critical roles they play in society.

[NYU Silver @NYUSilver]

Indigenous older adults have often been left out of research on aging & dementia. Dr. Cliff Whetung, PhD ’24, set out to change that with his award-winning dissertation “Testing the Minority Stress & Cognition Model with Indigenous Older Adults.” https://t.co/5R57F3K3Yi

Age discrimination, combined with structural inequities, undermines health & is a pathway to early retirement, said Prof/@CHAIatNYU Dir Ernest Gonzales @UMSocialWork’s annual Winkelman Memorial Lecture. He cited extensive research & argued for changes in policies & practices.
