For Elder Abuse Awareness Month, we will be joined by Brenda Shafer-Pellinen with the Arrowhead Area Agency on Aging and Minnesota Elder Justice Center. This informative session will help us learn more about what elder abuse is, review definitions and statistics, recognize the common dynamics of abuse in later life, identify unique barriers that may exist for older adults seeking assistance, prevention and intervention strategies, and learn about available resources. Learn what to look for and how to get help if you or someone you know might be a victim. Join us in person at Cook County Higher Ed or online via Zoom. Free lunch will be available for the first 20 people who register for the in-person class! Registration link coming soon, or visit www.mycche.org.
