Protecting Older Adults from Abuse and Neglect Webinar

Older adults deserve to age with dignity, respect, and security. Yet, too many of them experience abuse, neglect, or exploitation and do not receive the necessary support. The National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA) hosted an educational webinar focused on recognizing and preventing elder abuse and neglect. Watch the recording to learn more about the different forms of abuse, including physical, emotional, and financial abuse, as well as neglect. Also, how to identify warning signs and understand the rights of older adults. The webinar also highlights available resources and practical ways that families, caregivers, professionals, and community members can help create safer environments for older adults. This webinar was sponsored by ACL Administration for Community Living. 🏢 About the National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA) NHCOA is the leading national organization working to improve the lives of Hispanic older adults, their families, and their caregivers.
