Be Bold. Be Strong. Be Empowered: Guidance from Attorneys and Aging Professionals

The theme of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15th is “Be Bold, Age with Attitude.” To help Westchester’s seniors, we will discuss real-life examples of individuals struggling with challenges and then moving forward with constructive advice from attorneys and aging professionals. We will provide guidance and resources, educate on how to recognize abuse, and raise awareness on the importance of engagement within your community. As a result of the presentation, our hope is for seniors to become more skillful in making observations and using your voice to stand up and advocate for yourself and others around you.

Representatives from the following Westchester-based organizations will be participating:

• Family Services of Westchester
• Office of the Westchester County District Attorney
• Pace Women’s Justice Center
• Westchester County Department of Social Services – Adult Protective Services
• Westchester County Department of Senior Programs & Services
