Elder Abuse Awareness Forum: Addressing Mental Health & Financial Crimes

In honor of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, recognized annually in June, Empowered Aging invites Solano community seniors to a powerful interactive educational event. This half-day program features top experts in elder abuse prevention, mental health, and victim rights, providing timely and topical information for community members and high-quality, ongoing education for professionals working with older adults.

Older adults will walk away with actionable strategies and tactics to help protect themselves from abuse and a list of essential resources should they ever become victims of crime. Industry pros can join us for an excellent opportunity to hear from experts in aging, elder justice, mental health, law enforcement, and long-term care.

We urge you to join us and support our mission to make Solano County a safe haven for older and dependent adults! Reserve your spot now to be a part of this crucial initiative. Registration is required, and space is limited!

A big THANK YOU to our sponsors:
