March is Women's History Month, and the University of Indianapolis Center for Aging & Community wants to take this opportunity to highlight and celebrate the invaluable contributions women have made throughout history. We’ve compiled a selection of resources that showcase the lasting impact of women's achievements across various fields and industries. Let’s continue to recognize and honor the women who have shaped our world! PBS KVIE: https://lnkd.in/g7e49UDB National Women's History Museum https://lnkd.in/e4NZKr5 AARP https://lnkd.in/e4NZKr5
关于我们
The University of Indianapolis Center for Aging & Community is guided by the belief that it must move beyond the medical model in its approach to aging issues, viewing older adults holistically and acknowledging that they are community assets. CAC's programs, policies, and partnerships must therefore promote positive aging and an age-friendly society in practical ways.

Thank you to the Alzheimer's Association Greater Indiana Chapter and LifeStream Services, Inc. for creating tips that can be shared on social media for keeping your brain healthy, reducing risk and living well with dementia.
Since 2021, members of the Indiana Dementia Strategic Plan have been working to address Indiana’s dementia crisis. Public awareness of the signs, symptoms, and risk factors of dementia can lead to early detection, diagnosis, and support for those impacted by Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. This year, partners around the state, led by the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter and LifeStream Services, Inc., will be sharing tips for keeping your brain healthy, reducing your risk, and living well with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Follow along to further your education on dementia-related topics. Join us by liking, sharing, and following our channels! Together, we can #ENDALZ!

We wanted to share an opportunity for partners in our network to be recognized on a national stage. If your organization supports kinship families, take a look at this recognition opportunity from the Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network
Does your agency or community-based organization have a practice that supports kinship families? Would you like your work to be nationally recognized as "Exemplary" and elevated and shared with others who can use it to help kinship families in their communities? This opportunity complements our previous Exemplary Program initiative. Now, we'd like to share practices from any of our eight systems - aging, child welfare, disability, education, housing, Medicaid/Medicare, nutrition, and TANF. The practice may be kin-specific or more general and implemented in a way that helps kinship families. Examples include: ?? Schools with forms and protocols that help kin enroll the children they raise in school ?? States with working groups of multiple agencies and kin caregivers that help coordinate services and supports for kinship families ?? Kinship navigators with easy-to-follow videos that help caregivers understand their legal options and/or complete applications for public benefits ?? Tribes with supportive kin policies, such as streamlined Tribal TANF child-only applications for relatives to apply for grants that help meet the needs of children ???? Child welfare agencies with firewall policies that are implemented well and help ensure children removed from their parents are placed with kin ?? Area Agencies on Aging or Title VI programs that braid funding so that caregiver support groups can serve relative caregivers under age 55 These are just a few examples - please share your great work with us! ? Apply by April 22nd: https://lnkd.in/eFUHs933 ?? As always, let us know if you have any questions: you can type them in the comments below or email Shalah Bottoms, Technical Assistance Specialist, at [email protected]. #KinshipCare, #Grandfamilies

March is National Kidney Month. Most adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) do not know they have it -- with many missing the opportunity to avoid irreversible loss of kidney function and ultimately kidney failure. On March 13, findings from a new research brief from the State of Aging in Central Indiana Report that explains what CKD is and how common it is will be shared on a webinar. Panelists will discuss local services and support for discovering whether you or your loved ones have CKD and how to maximize quality of life with the disease. This webinar is hosted by The Polis Center, SAVI, Central Indiana Community Foundation and WFYI Public Media Register for this informative webinar at https://lnkd.in/g5SvEvHJ
