June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day! Start where you are, use what you have, and make a difference. Educating our communities on how to prevent abuse means we are all doing our part to support everyone as we age.

Older people are mistreated more often than we think due to the lack of supports for older people in our communities. It doesn’t have to be this way. Get involved in creating a stronger society that safeguards our communities and prevents abuse.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
