What happens when older adults take the lead in rewriting the story of aging?

Join us for a special Coffee Chat with Andrew Steward, PhD, LCSW, assistant professor of social work at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, who has developed
and piloted Aging Together — a groundbreaking, peer-facilitated, 10-session program that helps adults 50+ confront ageism, build resilience, and reshape how they see their
own aging journey.

Through guided sessions led by trained peers, participants learn about the impact of ageism on health and well-being, share their own aging stories in new ways, and
explore concrete actions to counter ageism in their communities. The pilot study showed remarkable results: significant reductions in relational ageism and depressive
symptoms.

Now Andrew is exploring how this innovative program could expand, and that’s where you come in. Whether you’re a coach, advisor, program leader, advocate, or simply
curious, this Coffee Chat is a chance to:

Learn about the Aging Together model and its pilot results
☕ Share your feedback and ideas for broader implementation
☕ Consider how this program could be adapted for your community or organization
☕ Explore opportunities to participate in future sessions once the program scales

This is a unique opportunity to shape a promising new approach to ageism — and to be part of the movement that flips the script on aging.
