Elder Abuse Awareness

Elder Abuse Awareness involves recognizing and understanding the various ways older adults can be harmed or neglected, whether physically, emotionally, financially, or through neglect. It highlights the importance of respecting seniors’ dignity, rights, and well-being, while encouraging community vigilance and supportive action. Raising awareness aims to prevent abuse by educating families, caregivers, and the public about the signs of mistreatment, promoting reporting, and fostering a safe, compassionate environment where older individuals are protected and valued.
