WEAAD Community Event Highlight
The NCEA applauds Justin Loscalzo, a student at Cincinnati State College, for his work promoting elder abuse awareness. Justin, with the help of classmates, disseminated WEAAD and NCEA resources to agencies in his area, set up a display with giveaways and materials at his university, and presented on his work at the end of spring semester. Justin is pictured above (right) with classmates Matt and Lisa. Thank you, Justin, for educating your peers and community members about elder abuse!
