Vulnerable Adults

Vulnerable adults are individuals who may be at higher risk of abuse, neglect, or exploitation due to factors such as age, disability, mental illness, or health issues. These conditions can limit their ability to protect themselves or make informed decisions. Vulnerable adults may rely on others for care and support, making it crucial to ensure their safety and well-being. Understanding their vulnerability helps society implement protective measures, provide appropriate support services, and promote awareness to prevent harm and advocate for their rights.
