Building Strong Support for Elders: World Elder Abuse Awareness Day #WEAAD

 

Elder Abuse is preventable– and everyone must do their part to build strong supports for each other and prevent the injustice of abuse before it happens.

Do something NOW! Take the Pledge

I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO PREVENT AND REPORT ELDER ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION.

I WILL never knowingly violate the trust of the elders with whom I come in contact.

I WILL ensure that I know how to recognize elder abuse and exploitation and how to report it.

I WILL strive to educate my family, friends, and associates to know when, where, and how to report suspected elder abuse and exploitation

I WILL” – created by MEAPA, the Maricopa Elder Abuse Prevention Alliance, in partnership with the Arizona Association of Area Agencies on Aging
