The International Network Prevention of Elder Abuse will sponsor the 6th Annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) on Wednesday, June 15, 2011. The key objective of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is to raise awareness of elder abuse (which encompasses neglect and mal- or mistreatment) throughout the world. If you visit the website, you can download the organizations toolkit, and a fact sheet from the World Health Organization. If you suspect someone you know is the victim of elder abuse, call my office for a free consultation, or contact the New Jersey Adult Protective Services department for the county in which the person is living.
