Check out the Reframing Fundamentals session at the upcoming Aging, Disability, and Independent Living Conference happening September 2026.
This four-hour interactive workshop teaches participants the evidence-based principles of reframing aging and how to begin applying them in their work. Through guided exercises and practical application, participants learn why narrative change is critical and develop skills to make their communications more effective. Led by National Center to Reframe Aging staff and trained facilitators, it’s designed for up to 100 participants. For participants to successfully engage, they should have some baseline exposure to the movement to reframe aging (e.g., have attended at least one introductory presentation) and the ability to influence their organization’s communications.
