SUMMARY:How Men Can Thrive as They Age: Lessons from the Life Transition Group
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \nDate: Monday\, July 28\, 2025\nStart time: 9 AM Pacific | 12 PM Eastern\nEnd time: 10 AM Pacific | 1 PM Eastern \nMany older men today are struggling—with loneliness\, declining happiness\, and alarming suicide rates among those ages 75 and older. Yet promising new paths are emerging\, offering ways for men to age with purpose\, health\, and connection. At the heart of these approaches is a reimagining of masculinity—expanding the notion of “provider\,” embracing emotional openness\, and intentionally building strong relationships. A compelling example of this evolution is the Life Transition Group (LTG)\, a Southern California–based circle of older men who have supported one another for more than 16 years. \nThis interactive session will be led by Ed Frauenheim\, an expert on masculinity and co-author of “Reinventing Masculinity\,” and Ron Dresher\, co-founder of LTG. Frauenheim’s 2024 Psychology Today article\, “Older Men Are Hurting—Here’s How They Can Thrive Instead\,” highlighted LTG as a model for male well-being in later life. The session will draw on that article and a workshop Frauenheim facilitated for LTG on “Reinventing Masculinity as We Age\,” offering practical insights and inspiration. \nTogether\, Frauenheim and Dresher will explore what it means for men to age well—focusing on community\, purpose and redefined masculinity—and how these lessons can be applied more broadly. \nPresenters:\nRon Dresher is a semi-retired judge and co-founder of the Life Transition Group. With a legal career rooted in public service\, he now focuses on helping older men navigate retirement with intention and vitality. His leadership in LTG reflects a commitment to fostering community\, supporting personal growth\, and redefining success in later life. \nEd Frauenheim is a writer\, speaker and consultant with more than 25 years’ experience dedicated to reinventing masculinity\, workplaces\, and society for a more connected and compassionate world. He has contributed to outlets such as USA Today\, Harvard Business Review\, and Fortune. Previously he served as director of content at Great Place to Work\, the consultancy behind the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list. \nRegister Now
