Resource Updates for May 2024



 

OLDER AMERICANS MONTH 2024


Every May, ACL leads the nation’s observance of Older Americans Month (OAM). This year's theme is Powered by Connection, which recognizes the profound impact that meaningful relationships and social connections have on our health and well-being. Join us in exploring the vital role that connectedness plays in supporting independence and aging in place. Visit: acl.gov/oam
