SUMMARY:Elder Fraud & Scams: Communication Strategies to Promote Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Scams and fraud can have serious and lasting effects on older adults\, affecting their finances\, emotional well-being\, and sense of security. In a 2025 report to Congress\, the Federal Trade Commission estimated that\, after accounting for underreporting\, older adults lost up to $81.5 billion to fraud in 2024. This webinar will highlight underlying factors and communication strategies that support recovery\, rebuild trust\, and help reduce the risk of repeat victimization. This webinar is co-hosted by the National Center on Elder Abuse\, U.S. Department of Justice’s Elder Justice Initiative\, National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life\, and National District Attorneys Association. \n\n\n\nCo-Hosted by: National Center on Elder Abuse\, U.S. Department of Justice’s Elder Justice Initiative\, National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life\, and National District Attorneys Association. \n\n\n\nPresenters:  \n\n\n\n\nAmy Nofziger (anofziger@aarp.org)\, Director of Fraud Victim Support AARP Fraud Watch Network\n\n\n\nPete Staffell (pete@rollandflow.co)\, Principal Roll and Flow (Break the Spell Program)\n\n\n\nJennifer Lawrence\, DSW\, LICSW (jen@cybercrimesupport.org)\, Director of Clinical Programs and Trauma Recovery FightCyberCrime.org\n\n\n\nMiles McNeely\, LCSW (mmcneeley@wiseandhealthyaging.org)\, Vice President\, Elder Abuse Prevention WISE & Healthy Aging\n\n\n\n\nRegister \n\n\n\nElder Justice Awareness Month Webinar Series \n\n\n\nIn 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.
