Registration is now open for Elder Justice Matters: a FREE virtual “lunch and learn” series — you bring lunch; we bring experts.
According to the World Health Organization, more than 1 in 6 elders experience abuse. Here in Virginia, Adult Protective Services fields over 40 thousand reports of elder mistreatment, resulting in almost 13 thousand cases. What’s most startling: researchers have found that only 1 in 24 cases become known to authorities.
The Virginia Center on Aging is committed to ensuring that Virginia is a safe and loving place to grow old. We connect agencies and individuals with the knowledge and resources they need.
Join us for a series of virtual “lunch and learn” sessions where we’ll talk about how we can work together to better facilitate community connections and access to resources and services for older adults – and for all of us.
