Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. If you suspect someone you know is being abused, take action.

Today, June 15th, is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD). I’m grateful that North Carolina is recognizing this important day through an official proclamation from Governor Josh Stein. It sends a clear message that our state values its older adults and takes the issue of elder abuse seriously.

As the Governor’s proclamation reminds us, “each resident has a responsibility to report any suspicion of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.” If you ever have concerns, you can contact local law enforcement and/or your county’s Adult Protective Services (APS). Find your APS office here:
https://www.ncdhhs.gov/divisions/social-services/adult-services/adult-protective-services.

My office works closely with the NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to train APS staff statewide on how we can support cases involving suspected investment, charity, notary, and trademark fraud. These types of fraud can be reported directly to the Secretary of State’s Office. Complaint forms are available at: https://sosnc.gov/forms/bytitle/TipAndComplaint.

Together, we can help protect North Carolina’s seniors and strengthen the safety of our communities. (~EFM)
