World Elder Abuse Awareness

There is NO excuse for elder abuse 🚫

Elder abuse is any act which causes harm to an older person and is carried out by someone they know and trust such as a family member or friend.

Abuse may be
◼physical
◼ social
◼ financial
◼ emotional
◼ psychological
◼ sexual
◼ … & can include mistreatment and neglect

Today is a timely reminder that there is still a lot of work to do to safeguard older people from abuse and to support their choices & wishes.
