Less Than One Month Away
Keep in mind, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is a special time of year where groups around the globe mobilize in order to promote
elder abuse awareness. Not only do we share factors that lead to mistreatment, but these occasions also serve the purpose of informing a diverse array of audiences about what needs to change so that we can prevent elder abuse from occurring in the first place!
We are less than one month away and want to see (and hear) more about what you’re up to, whether it falls weeks or days ahead of Saturday, June 15th.
