The more people we engage, the stronger our communities become. The consequences of elder abuse can be severe. Elder adults who experience abuse are twice as likely to be hospitalized, four times as likely to enter a nursing home, and three times as likely to die. By raising awareness and supporting prevention efforts, we can help keep older adults safe and connected.

June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD).

Start where you are. Use what you have. Make a difference. Educating our communities about elder abuse helps protect older adults and creates a safer future for everyone. An estimated 5 million older Americans, or 1 in 10 seniors, experience abuse, neglect, or exploitation each year. Awareness is one of the most powerful tools we have to change that.

Supportive communities and resources are essential to preventing elder abuse. In fact, older adults are mistreated more often than many people realize, often because they lack the support systems they need. By connecting older adults with services, resources, and social connections, we can help create safer communities for everyone.
