We dream of and work toward a world in which faith leaders respond compassionately and effectively to survivors of domestic violence and elder abuse. Together, we can build communities where all people are safe with faith.

It's not too early to plan how YOUR COMMUNITY will observe WEAAD on June 15!

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is June 15th

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, or WEAAD, is a perfect time to educate your community about the impact of elder abuse and the pervasiveness of ageism in our culture. You can help Safe Havens empower our communities and congregations. We and our partners have come up with some easy ways to spread the word, take action, and increase justice. #WEAAD

Take advantage of the 5th annual National Weekend of Prayer and Action for Elder Justice on June 12 to 14: We have the resources--just click HERE to learn more!

Use already-developed outreach tools! Our friends at the National Center on Elder Abuse have a great selection of resources--in English and in Spanish! Download them HERE.

Learn about how ageism affects us all--individually, societally, and institutionally--and ways we can change the narrative!

Learn about elder abuse red flags and where to turn for help. The more we all know about elder abuse, the sooner people experiencing abuse will get the help they need--and deserve!

Consider the intersection of elder abuse and faith... Older adults are particularly faith-based and will often turn to someone in their faith community before they turn to services. Learn about elder abuse and where you can turn for resources.
