World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
Financial exploitation is one of the most common forms of elder abuse, and awareness is one of the best tools we have to prevent it.
An estimated 1 in 10 older Americans experiences elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation. By staying informed, checking in on loved ones, and speaking up when something doesn't seem right, we can help protect older adults in our communities.
Together, we can build stronger, safer communities for everyone.
