In recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse has created a toolkit for organizations and institutions to promote this event. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day involves activities to bring greater recognition of mistreatment of older adults wherever they live throughout the world and to highlight the need for appropriate action. It is intended to give abuse and neglect of older adults a global relevance that will sustain and move prevention efforts forward throughout the whole year and years to come
The toolkit includes an explanation of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day and information on promoting the event within your organization and in dealing with the media, including ready to use posters and flyers, tips for obtaining sponsorship, creating fact sheets, media releases and more. The toolkit and other resources on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day are at the following link:
