A resolution designating June 15, 2025, as "World Elder Abuse Awareness Day" and the month of June 2025 as "Elder Abuse Awareness Month".

This resolution officially designates June 15, 2025, as "World Elder Abuse Awareness Day" and the entire month of June 2025 as "Elder Abuse Awareness Month." The primary purpose is to highlight the widespread problem of elder abuse, which encompasses physical, psychological, financial, and neglectful forms, affecting millions of older adults annually. The resolution underscores the significant financial losses incurred by victims, estimated in the billions, and notes that a vast majority of cases go unreported. Furthermore, the resolution recognizes the crucial work of various professionals and agencies, including adult protective services, law enforcement, and healthcare providers, for their dedication to advancing awareness and assisting victims. It applauds organizations like the Elder Justice Coalition and supports State long-term care ombudsman programs for their preventative efforts. The resolution encourages both the public and professionals to actively promote awareness, learn to detect and report elder abuse, and urges federal, state, and local entities to collaborate in combating abuse against vulnerable older adults.
