Raise awareness of elder abuse on June 15

Every year on June 15, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is commemorated in America and around the world. The purpose of WEAAD is to raise awareness of the cultural, social, economic, and demographic processes affecting elder abuse and neglect. WEAAD helps educate individuals, organizations, and communities on how to identify, address, and prevent abuse, so we can all do our part to support everyone as they age.
