AGENCY & AGING WORKSHOP
Studies associate agency with well-being, but it diminishes with age due to ageism and aging. In our 90-min workshop, we teach seniors and allies to nurture agency and challenge limiting beliefs.
WHAT IS COVERED IN THIS COURSE
Research has shown that having feelings of agency, or believing that you have power to influence your environment and meet your goals, is correlated with feelings of overall psychological well-being. Feelings of agency have also been shown to sharply decline as people age, due to minimization and invalidation caused by ageism and changes in functioning. In this 90-minute workshop, aging individuals and their supports will learn about areas where personal agency can be exercised throughout the lifespan, how to build feelings of agency in these areas, and how to challenge unhelpful thought processes that prevent us from taking action to live our best lives.
