World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is on Sunday, June 15. Join us in preparing for this day of recognition by attending this 90-minute session on how to prevent, recognize, and respond to elder abuse. This interactive session is designed for professionals working in Jewish organizations. We’ll learn about the prevalence, various forms, warning signs, risk and protective factors of elder abuse, and end by brainstorming around how your organization can be part of the solution to this pressing issue.
