See Me Know Me Resources

The See me. Know me. campaign is designed to help older people or carers like you feel more valued, to help you connect with family and friends, and ultimately to empower you to find aged care services that will truly tune in to holistic person-centred care.

Inspired by the strong positive reaction to our See me. Know me. poster series, we have published conversation starters for you to use with your families and friends, to share a bit about your story, your values and interests.

Map of Meaning

The Map of Meaning is an evidence-based framework to help people reflect on meaning in their lives. Lani Morris, the 75-year-old founder, has been involved with the application of the Map over many years, and partnered with Meaningful Ageing Australia to apply it in the context of ageing. Lani has spoken to hundreds of people across Australia and New Zealand and collaborated with older people, including OPAN focus groups, on the design and value of this resource.

This second edition released in 2024 is an interactive PDF with audio and video content. It steps you through a process to identify and strengthen your sources of meaning, purpose and connection.

Thank you for the copy of ‘The Map of Meaning and Ageing’. I like the way the book is presented…I like the mix of print and picture/ diagram/ space to record and draw. I have been underlining phrases that I want to remember and jotting down thoughts in spaces provided as I go….I can see the book being relevant for as long as I live; reviewing what I’ve written and finding greater relevance or cause for reflection as I get older and am no longer working or my circumstances change.

I first wondered, ‘Is it for me?’ as I am not really in the age group yet. After reading it I realised it is for me also. As I get older I realise I have begun to enter into old age. What an eye-opening book! So much valuing and important reflection on age in life. Even those who have imperfect English gain from this book. It has a room to express oneself in different languages. It’s concise yet there is so much to unpack. I highly recommend it.
