💜 June 15th is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) 💜

Every older adult deserves to live with dignity, respect, and peace of mind. Yet, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), roughly 1 in 6 older adults experience some form of abuse each year.

Abuse—whether emotional, financial, or physical—takes a massive toll on an elder's mental health, leading to severe anxiety, depression, and isolation. Protecting their wellbeing is a responsibility we all share.

How you can help:

⁜ Check in often: Isolation increases vulnerability. Regular visits and calls matter.
⁜ Know the signs: Sudden behavioral changes, unexplained financial strain, or withdrawal can be red flags.
⁜ Speak up: If you suspect mistreatment, report it.

Let’s safeguard the dignity and mental health of the seniors who built our communities.

👉 Learn the signs and find resources: mc708.org/service

⁜ Global Facts: World Health Organization (who.int)
⁜ Support & Tools: National Center on Elder Abuse (ncea.acl.gov)
