LEARNING RESOURCES
Love: The Last Chapter can be used as a conversation starter, a training tool, and as a catalyst for change!
It is our hope that Love: The Last Chapter is used widely in community, educational and professional development settings. By providing a deep dive into the lived experience of three senior couples, the film can help us:
- unpack and challenge ageism
- understand the importance of intimacy late in life and of supporting the emotional needs of seniors
- de-stigmatize sexuality among seniors
- appreciate decision making processes faced by older couples vis-à-vis healthcare and living arrangements
- discuss best practices when interviewing, researching and documenting seniors
- reflect on the universality of experiences for seniors but also on the individuality and uniqueness of experiences based on race, gender, class, abilities.
