Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 💜

Elder abuse is not separate from domestic violence, s*xual assault, or stalking — these issues are deeply connected. Yet too often, older survivors are left out of the conversation.

✨ Abuse can happen at any age
✨ We must include elder abuse in the broader conversation about violence
✨ Strong, collaborative community support is key to ensuring older adults are heard, protected, and supported
