Ensure Equity in Aging – Be Culturally Aware

January 18, 2021 by Marie Jobling

The development of the California Masterplan on Aging is an important step for California.  As part of the development , the California Department of Aging is hosting a series of Webinars toward greater cultural awareness and humility.   Sessions are free and available on regularly, with sessions recorded in case you miss one. Over the next several months, CDA will host an Ensuring Equity in Aging webinar every first Wednesday, from 10-11am. Presentations will cover a range of topics including the value of cultural traditions and harnessing community strengths and assets. They will also detail how historic and systemic discrimination and internal biases harm the wellbeing of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQ, disabled older adults, and in different ways, all Californians. Speakers address how we can work together to address the resulting inequities through culturally responsive policy, program, and service planning and delivery.

Upcoming Programs: 

  • February 3, 2021, 10:00 to 11:00: focus on Culturally Informed Policy and Programs for Black Elders. Join Le Ondra Clark Harvey, PhD, CA Council of Community Behavioral Health Agencies; Lisa Tealer, Bay Area Community Health Advisory Council; and Jonathan Butler, PhD, UCSF NURTURE Center for a discussion on how we can build community, provide services, and create opportunities with and for Black older adults. Time will be reserved for Q&A. Closed Captioning will be available.  Register for this webinar here.
  • March 3rd, 2021:10:00 to 11:00  webinar will focus on Asian and Pacific Islander older adults and will feature Joon Bang from the National Asian Pacific Center on Aging (NAPCA) and Yvonne Sun of Special Service for Groups Inc. (SSG Silver). More details to come. Register for this webinar here. 

If you missed the first few, you can still join in with these recorded sessions.
