💜 June 15th is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

💜 The Reality in New York: 💜

Did you know that 1 in 10 older adults will experience mistreatment by someone they know? Even more heartbreaking — only 1 in 24 cases will ever be reported.

Elder abuse can happen behind closed doors and often goes unnoticed. That’s why YOU can make a difference.

👀 Check in.
👂 Listen.
🩵 Notice changes.
🤝 Offer support.

A phone call, a visit, or simply paying attention could mean everything to an older adult who may be struggling in silence.

✨ Together, we can shine a light on elder abuse, raise awareness, and help protect the older adults in our communities. 💜
