The Center for Disaster Philanthropy is hosting a webinar on May 11 to help funders, academics, emergency managers, and non-governmental agencies, understand the stereotypes and ageism that exists in the U.S. that marginalizes people and minimize their contributions. It will also address how philanthropy can reduce barriers to access and participation for older adults and support their inclusion in planning for and responding to disasters and humanitarian crises.
1. Understand the diverse experiences of older adults and how to combat stereotypes.
2. Learn about considerations for supporting recovery for older adults in disasters and humanitarian crises.
3. Know how to ensure financial support improves access and strengthens inclusion for older adults before, during and after disasters and humanitarian crises.
Webinar: May 11, 11 am CDT / 10 am MDT | Registration and details: https://disasterphilanthropy.org/events/older-adults-and-disasters-overcoming-stereotypes-and-strengthening-inclusion/
This webinar will be recorded and sent to all of the registrants.
Note: Center for Disaster Philanthropy was active during the 2019 disaster events that took place across Nebraska. They were also one of the major funders and supporters of the Nebraska Extension Wellness in Tough Times project.
