October 1st is the United Nations International Day of Older Persons, which celebrates and honours older adults and their contributions to society. This year’s theme, “Ageing with Dignity: The Importance of Strengthening Care and Support Systems for Older Persons Worldwide.” reminds us of the need to create inclusive systems that meet the needs of older adults, caregivers, and communities alike.
We invite you to explore a curated selection of CLSA publications and webinars that are aligned with this year’s focus on ensuring dignity for older adults worldwide.
