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.” We discussed real-life examples of individuals struggling with challenges and then moved forward with constructive advice from attorneys and aging professionals. We provided guidance and resources, educated on how to recognize abuse, and raise awareness on the importance of engagement within your community. 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.
