To kick off Elder Abuse Awareness Week, we welcomed organisations to come together, connect, share services, and strengthen support for our kaumātua. It was a great opportunity to network, promote resources, and raise awareness about preventing elder abuse.

If you or someone you know is experiencing elder abuse, or you're concerned about the wellbeing of an older person, please reach out.

📞 Contact us on 07 544 9981

Together, we can stand against elder abuse and support the wellbeing of our kaumātua💜
