Share your experiences and ideas at an official listening session.
We’re all aging every day — an age-friendly New Jersey helps everyone.
The New Jersey Age-Friendly Advisory Council and the Department of Human Services have been tasked by Governor Murphy to promote inclusive communities for people of all ages. The Council is holding two virtual listening sessions to hear from older residents and those who care for them about what the state can do.
With help from your testimonies, the Council will identify best practices for social participation, housing, transportation, and age-friendly employment; address disparities faced by the state’s diverse population of older adults; and shape the blueprint on how to advance age-friendly practices across the state. Help make New Jersey a better place for all ages by signing up today.
Session #1: Tuesday, March 14th 10 a.m. to noon.
Session #2: Tuesday, March 21st 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Sign language interpreters and real-time captioning will be provided.
Listening sessions will be livestreamed on the official DHS YouTube page.
