Embrace - Closing the Generational Gap

Our presentation today is being held on the lands of the Wurundjeri People and I wish to acknowledge them as Traditional Owners.

I would also like to pay my respects to their Elders, past and present, and Aboriginal Elders of other communities who may be here today.

Embrace.

Embrace is about a new way of caring for aging populations in a way that encourages diverse generational reconnections while also providing support for those that find themselves separated from family and friends.

It is about bringing people together who will appreciate and mutually benefit from this new way of living. Fully embracing this intentional community, creating a new definition of family. .

Embracing the power of relationships uses the relationships formed to provide actions strategies that would otherwise be provided by government interventions Reframing vulnerability shifts the societal lens of vulnerable people characterized as a problem becoming valuable members of the community Engagement of older adults places an obligation on elderly residents to participate within the community in supportive roles and activities A key focus on vulnerability is to make vulnerable individuals and families the reason the community existence Three or more generations adds complex relationships and deeper generational understanding Embracing diversity to overcome ethnic intolerance and stereotypes Transformational leadership from within the community, empowering community members to become active leaders Physical design facilitates relationships demands that the architecture and interior design facilitate and further support relationship development and sustainability
