AARP Michigan is working on the “Menopause: It’s a Movement!” campaign, led by the Michigan Women’s Commission.

September is National Preparedness Month, which AARP Washington will observe with virtual training sessions to help older adults and the families that care for them stay safe. The programs will discuss how to create plans, protect property and finances, and learn about Washington’s natural risks.

AARP is working to educate caregivers about the state’s paid family medical leave program, which has been increasing by double-digit percentages each year since 2021.
