The United Nations General Assembly designated the 15th of June as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD). WEAAD is celebrated each year, globally on June 15, providing an opportunity for communities to stand together against the abuse, mistreatment and neglect of older people.
Join us on June 4th for a virtual WEAAD event and/or join us on June 20th for an in-person WEAAD event in Washington, D.C.
The National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA) is a national non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization with members in all fifty states, D.C., and the territories. Formed in 1989, the goal of NAPSA is to provide Adult Protective Services (APS) programs a forum for sharing information, solving problems, and improving the quality of services for victims of elder and vulnerable adult mistreatment. Its mission is to strengthen the capacity of APS at the national, state, and local levels, to effectively and efficiently recognize, report, and respond to the needs of elders and adults with disabilities who are the victims of abuse, neglect, or exploitation, and to prevent such abuse whenever possible.
