Everyone should be able to live free from abuse. Older and dependent adults are often vulnerable because of physical, mental or emotional limitations. Social isolation, weak support systems and other such factors can further erode the person’s ability to live safely and with dignity. Victims in Solano County now have an important ally when it comes to getting help. The Elder Justice Program–Solano coordinates whatever support is needed—social, medical, legal, financial and more—and acts as the victim’s primary point of contact. Join us to learn how to spot abuse and how the Elder Justice Program supports victims.Timko’s presentation will describe various signs of abuse including financial, physical and sexual, emotional and neglect or abandonment.
