World Elder Abuse Awareness Day History - June 15th
Several have asked me to share resources in this area so here is some links for consideration.
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day aims to spread acknowledgment about an issue that does not have the visibility that it should, elder abuse, neglection, and exploitation. According to the Administration for Community Living, older Americans lose over 2.6 billion dollars per year because of financial abuse. The World Elder Abuse Awareness Day was first observed in 2006, since then, the day has been celebrated yearly on June 15th.

It has a large impact in a number of areas as in the illustration below.
Today is the 15th annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, now more than ever, we remain committed to preventing and prosecuting those who target older Americans. If you are a victim of Elder fraud, or know someone who is, take action and call: 1-833-372-8311. #WEADD

Grim statistics at forefront as elder abuse awareness week begins in New Zealand
Each year, an estimated 5 million older adults are abused, neglected, or exploited. Older Americans lose an estimated $2.6 billion or more annually due to elder financial abuse and exploitation, funds that could be used to pay for basic needs such as housing, food, and medical care. Unfortunately, it occurs in every demographic and can happen to anyone—a family member, a neighbor, even you. It is estimated that only one in five of these crimes are discovered.
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) was launched on June 15, 2006 by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and the World Health Organization at the United Nations (UN). WEAAD aims to provide an opportunity for communities around the world to promote a better understanding of abuse and neglect of older persons by raising awareness of the cultural, social, economic, and demographic processes affecting elder abuse and neglect. In addition, WEAAD is held in support of the UN International Plan of Action acknowledging the significance of elder abuse as a public health and human rights issue. This observance serves as a call-to-action for individuals, organizations, and communities to raise awareness about elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

Grandparents are treasures unlike anyone else in our lives. So, while we’ll certainly glance at what science has to say, let’s really dig into our hearts and our childhood to find out why grandparents are so good for our own kids.
