World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
Social media toolkit 2020
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is held on June 15 every year and aims to raise awareness of this significant form of family violence.
Elder abuse is any act which causes harm to an older person and is carried out by someone they know and trust such as a family member or friend. Abuse may be financial, psychological, physical, social, or sexual and includes mistreatment and neglect.
To raise awareness of elder abuse in 2020, the SMPCP Elder Abuse Prevention Network launched a podcast Rod Quantock gets serious about ageing. We invite you to help spread the word by using the social media tools listed below.
