Transform How Your Organization Understands Aging

 

Build empathy. Reduce ageism. Transform service delivery.

 

Led by Dr. Nikki O. Tyson, Educating Against Ageism delivers interactive, research-based training that helps organizations better serve older adults by changing how staff think, feel, and respond to aging. Our approach goes beyond traditional training. We combine evidence-based instruction with hands on sensory experiences to create lasting mindset shifts that improve real world outcomes.

​

           ✔ Strengthen staff empathy and communication

✔ Reduce age-based bias in service delivery

                ✔ Improve outcomes for older adults across systems

Why This Work Matters

Ageism is one of the most overlooked barriers to quality care and service.

​

      It impacts:

                              How staff communicate with older adults

                              The assumptions made about ability and independence

                             The quality of support, services, and decision making

 

Without intentional intervention, these biases persist even in well-trained teams. We help organizations interrupt that pattern.

​

Our Approach: Not Just Training, Transformation

Most trainings inform. Ours transforms.

​​

Our signature model combines:

 

Experiential Learning

Participants engage in guided activities using ailment simulation kits, allowing them to physically and emotionally experience common age related challenges.

 

Research Based Instruction

Grounded in doctoral level research, our training is designed to measurably reduce ageist attitudesand improve engagement with older adults.

 

Immediate Application

Staff leave with practical strategies they can apply immediately in their roles.

 

Proven Impact

                66+ professionals trained across service sectors

                47 participants completed advanced/follow-up training

                Research findings: 80% showed measurable reductions in ageism

​

This isn’t theoretical, it’s evidence backed change.
