How to Talk About Elder Abuse
1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET
The National Center on Elder Abuse and the FrameWorks Institute have collaborated to better understand and effectively shift the public’s current perceptions on elder abuse. During this webinar, the NCEA will introduce aging professionals to the FrameWorks Institute’s research findings and explore an effective communication strategy on elder abuse. We will provide attendees with communication tools and NCEA examples needed to replicate this elder abuse communication strategy with public audiences.

August 9th
Guardianship 101
1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET
For some members of our society, legal protection may be necessary even after they have entered adulthood. These individuals may have been injured in an accident, continue to live with debilitating physical illness or psychological disorder, or have some other condition that prevents them from caring for themselves. In these cases, a guardianship may be established. This webinar will focus on situations in which a guardianship may be necessary, how to avoid a guardianship proceeding, and the impact that moving between states can have on an individual that has been subject to a guardianship proceeding.
