Untold Stories of Aging in Art

Created by 2022 Scholars, this project seeked to illuminate the experiences of older adults through conversation, collaboration, art, and advocacy.

Through artistic expression, the project illustrates aspects of the aging experience that are not typically discussed in legible spaces and terms, so that we all might be better informed, prepared, and inspired for aging futures.

Untold Stories of Aging Practice

The number of aging-focused social workers, as well as other professionals in healthcare and social services, falls far below the projected need in light of the rapid aging of the U.S. population.

Created in 2023, this video project was intended to inspire professionals to consider contributing to aging-focused practice by creating a space for individuals who have experience working with older adults to share their experiences and reflections from the field.
