This workshop will use Narrative practices including outsider witness to begin to explore:
Walking alongside older people and responding to later life challenges as systemic therapists
Themes of age and ageism that impact on later life families and on the self of the therapist
Stories of ageing from “older” and “younger” positions – considering our personal and professional selves
How to address challenges and take actions to reduce ageism within the profession
Intergenerational learning: honouring the past and listening to the present to co-create approaches that fit for our diverse futures
