💜 Every Older Adult Deserves to Age with Dignity and Respect 💜
As we approach World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15, we’re helping raise awareness about an issue that affects older adults in communities across Canada and around the world.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
Elder abuse isn’t always easy to recognize.
Some warning signs may include:
• Unexplained changes in finances
• Sudden social withdrawal
• Poor hygiene or unmet care needs
• Fearfulness around certain individuals
• Unexplained injuries or changes in behaviour
Many cases go unreported, which is why awareness and education are so important.
If you are concerned about an older adult, support and information are available.

Over the coming week, we’ll be sharing information and resources leading up to June 15 to help promote the dignity, safety, and well-being of older adults.
💜 Wear purple on June 15 to show your support and help raise awareness.
