One way we can prevent bullying, family violence, domestic violence, sexual exploitation, child or elder abuse is to increase awareness and educate each other on the supports available.
Events
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
Date: June 15
Where: Provincewide
Organization: Alberta Elder Abuse Awareness Council
Details: World Elder Abuse Awareness Day was established in 2006 by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and the World Health Organization to bring global attention to the need for all citizens to take responsibility in preventing elder abuse. We encourage you to learn more about elder abuse and share resources.
The Alberta Elder Abuse Awareness Council developed a toolkit to support individuals and communities raising awareness of elder abuse. The theme for this year is Grow the Conversation. Through our collective efforts, we can help to prevent elder abuse and protect the rights and dignity of older adults in our communities.
