The Council for Life Long Engagement encourages and enables elders to share their knowledge and talents with school children to reverse any negative aspects of ageism.
The CLLE Newsletter
Nativity is partnering with the Council for Life Long Engagement (CLLE) to change how our students view elders. Laura Lamb, Nativity parent and vice president for Episcopal Retirement Homes, founded the CLLE with the mission to eradicate ageism in the U.S. Ageism - a tendency to regard older persons as debilitated, unworthy of attention, or unsuitable.
Ageism has been the focus of recent studies confirming the negative health effects of ageism. For example, a Yale study concluded that "Elderspeak" reinforces negative images of aging, thereby decreasing the life span of elders up to 7.5 years. In response to the issue of ageism, Lamb has decided to make it her life goal to enhance the perception of the purpose and value of elders, counteracting the negative impacts of ageism.
