Thrive Alliance sponsors session on elder abuse

Thrive Alliance is sponsoring a virtual session on Elder Abuse Awareness at 2:30 p.m. June 15.

That day is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, providing an opportunity for communities around the world to promote a better understanding of abuse and neglect of older people by raising awareness of the cultural, social, economic and demographic processes affecting elder abuse and neglect.

Loretta Mize and Shelby Eggers of Thrive Alliance will present information through Zoom.

Those who attend will learn how to detect signs and symptoms of abuse, identify the newest scams, intervention strategies, local resources and where to learn more.
