Be aware of older people they Rule!

Older Adults are people we look up to as young people.  For most people our caregivers are the first to give us guidance. You know help us out with our first walk or even the first break up. when it comes down to it we have to take care of the adults in our lives that made the most impact. Within this group physical and psychological changes are on the rise.

Here a key term that most people should know and understand when reading this all the way through.
Ageism - form of discrimination against older people. 
Older Americans Act - Funds for age related research. Government programs for age related research.
As a reminder changes can be good or bad.

Middle age is around the 40-60 years old range.That is called the changing midlife. That is the last and finial step of life.  That stereo type  of that family man that decides to buy a red sports car with out telling the wife for some reason. 

Baby boomers are born from the year 1946 and on. That is a total of 26 million people over the age of 60.  You know it could be the grandparent you know that is still alive. Families living with each other is on the rise as much as ever. I know would know that because I have a grand mother who lives with me. One reasons for all of this is that homelessness is on the raise in this community.   

My friend Brendan birth is really big on caring about this area and what this is all about. He Really wants to work with people with ageism. Get him to talk about what Gray Panthers is all about to ageism. Get him to add a picture of what he does in action with the group. You might here from him again in the near future.
