The Maryland Philanthropy Network’s Aging Innovations Group and Maryland Department of Aging invite you to a special presentation by the National Center to Reframe Aging to gain an understanding of the need to change the way our society communicates about aging and older adults. This session will provide guidance on how to advance an equitable and complete story about aging and promote evidence-based communication strategies to frame aging issues and help participants learn more about the power of research-based framing strategies to increase the impact and efficacy of your communications and work.
Please join MPN’s Aging Innovations Group and Seniors & Housing Collaborative for an engaging, informative program with Dr. Kali Thomas, newly arrived Stulman Professor in Aging and Community Health at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, who will share her recent research insights on the varied and changing needs and preferences of older adults, particularly in relation to home-based services. While many healthcare entities and community-based organizations are focused on bolstering and moving services to the home, they are often designed for the general target population and struggle to customize and tailor this experience.
In times of challenge, uncertainty or transition, community foundations can bring people together for a common cause: the community.
The transformation of the national political landscape poses an array of challenges and threats for communities and grantees, who are facing the abrupt loss of federal funding, immigration enforcement policies that harm vulnerable communities, and politically motivated investigations and litigation targeting nonprofits.
