Ageism shows up in the stereotypes, assumptions, and discrimination we experience based on age. It can affect our well-being, financial security, and how we are treated by others.

At the Elder Abuse Institute of Maine, we believe every older adult deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and the freedom to make choices about their own life.

Help challenge ageism: Question assumptions about aging, recognize the diversity of older adults’ experiences, and make space for every person’s voice and choices.

Let’s work together to build communities where people of every age are valued.
