June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

The third annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day — June 15 — has been declared internationally, here in BC, and in other jurisdictions across Canada to shed light on a family violence issue that has remained in the closet for far too long.

The BC Association of Community Response Networks and the Canadian Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse are both planning events to raise awareness about the neglect and abuse of aging adults. See their websites for more information about this day and events happening in your community on June 15.
