On this week's 'What's Happening Wednesday' we highlight the final week of our Information & Assistance/ ADRC programs. This week focuses on the community outreach this Division does.
This department has been actively engaged in the community through ongoing outreach and education efforts. Staff have attended local events, visited senior centers, and connected with individuals and families to share information, listen to concerns, and help community members understand the services that are available to them. In addition to one-on-one conversations, the department has been intentionally networking with a variety of organizations, including social service agencies, health care providers, senior living facilities, and advocacy groups, to build stronger, more coordinated partnerships that can better support older adults.
As part of these efforts, the department is currently planning the World Elder Abuse Awareness Day Resource Fair, which will take place on June 12th. The primary goal of this event is to raise awareness about the many forms of elder abuse — including physical, emotional, financial, and neglect — and to ensure community members know how to recognize it and where to turn for help. The fair will bring together community partners, service providers, and advocates in one location so that older adults, caregivers, and family members can easily access information, ask questions, and connect to support and protective services.
