Elder Justice Awareness Month Webinar Series
In recognition of Elder Justice Awareness Month, the Elder Justice Coordinating Council (EJCC) is hosting a national webinar series to raise awareness, strengthen prevention efforts, and advance coordinated responses to elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. The series will explore the evolving landscape of fraud and scams, provide guidance on recognizing warning signs and protecting oneself, and highlight community- and facility-based resources available to support individuals who have experienced maltreatment.
The series underscores the importance of cross-sector collaboration in protecting older adults. Sessions will feature subject matter experts, older adults, and advocates discussing topics such as identifying signs of abuse, supporting victims and caregivers, and utilizing federal and state resources. This initiative reflects the EJCC’s ongoing commitment to ensuring that all older adults can live with dignity, independence, and security in their communities.
