World Elder
Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD),
June 15th, serves as a call-to-action for individuals, organizations, and
communities to bring attention to the issue of elder abuse, neglect, and
exploitation. ACL and the National Center on Elder Abuse are excited to
share new & updated tools designed to help you generate
awareness about elder abuse, at any distance.
WEAAD Campaign Tools & Tips include
activities that can take place online or be adapted to maintain safe
physical distancing! For example, you can…
- Play
a game of WEAAD Bingo! Want
a creative way to heighten awareness about WEAAD, signs of elder
abuse, and prevention resources? Print out or save this WEAAD
Bingo game board. When you have bingo, share it with the
NCEA on Facebook (@NationalCenteronElderAbuse)
or Twitter (@NCEAatUSC).
- Participate
in the #WEAAD615 Challenge online or offline by using the shareable graphic
and /or fillable
PDF to:
- List
6 facts
about elder abuse everyone should know
- Share
1 thing you
can do to prevent elder abuse
- Reach
out to 5
people to participate in the challenge
- Spark
a movement within your community by planning a WEAAD
Caravan event where each car displays messages or images to
raise awareness of WEAAD. Don’t have promotional tools? Customize
this WEAAD
caravan flyer and fill out this form to
receive a free WEAAD car magnet. Please note that this offer is
limited to organizations and agencies in the United States only. Due
to limited supply, we will be offering magnets on a
first-come, first-served basis.
- Register
your event on the WEAAD events calendar and
search for virtual events you can attend, across the globe!
- Use
our social
media tools
to promote #WEAAD with your online networks.
- Send
a global message against elder abuse by accessing and sharing various WEAAD resources
available in English,
Chinese, and Spanish and elder abuse awareness factsheets
in multiple languages.
As we continue to physically distance, we hope these tools
will inspire you to raise awareness in new ways. Please share
your WEAAD successes and innovations to us, so others can replicate them!
