June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 💜

Elder abuse isn’t always physical. Financial exploitation and scams are among the fastest-growing forms of abuse affecting older adults, often leaving lasting emotional and financial impacts.

To help raise awareness and protect Iowa’s older adults, the Iowa Area Agencies on Aging have partnered to create a series of short, informative videos highlighting common scams targeting seniors and practical ways to avoid them.

Knowledge is one of the strongest tools we have to prevent exploitation. We encourage you to watch, share, and start conversations with the older adults in your life. Together, we can help keep our communities informed, empowered, and safe.

Today's video comes from Aging Resources of Central Iowa, covering the Grandparent Scam.
