Celebrating older Americans month: flip the script on aging

Older Americans Month in May is a time to acknowledge the contributions older adults make every day. Across the nation, older adults make their mark as volunteers, employees, parents, grandparents, mentors and advocates.

This year’s national theme for Older Americans Month is “Flip the Script on Aging,” which focuses on transforming how society perceives, talks about and approaches aging.

Texans can honor the contributions of older adults by exploring the various ways to remain active and engaged to age and live well. This month can also be used to highlight the opportunities for purpose, exploration and connection that come with aging.
