According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: Millions of older persons are abused, neglected, and exploited.
Once a year on June 15, communities and municipalities around the world plan activities and programs to recognize World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD).
It’s an opportunity to share information and spread awareness about abuse, neglect, and exploitation in later life. Everyone can make a difference, but together, we can unite as one nation.
Take a stand against elder abuse!
