Today is elder abuse awareness day👵👴💖

Sadly, 1 in 6 seniors worldwide will experience significant abuse each day. That abuse may be financial, mental, physical, sexual or a form of neglect. 😔

Whatever the abuse, the consequences are detrimental. 🤕
Our wonderful DRTs have bravely shared stories they have experienced throughout their healthcare careers as a way of spreading awareness and ensuring that we, in Aotearoa dont assume it doesn't happen here, because it does, and we must protect our Kaumātua 🫂
