Education and awareness are key when talking about the growing problem of elder abuse, says committee co-chair Rebecca Johnson

THUNDER BAY — A flag was raised on Friday at city hall in recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, which is June 15.

Moscall said caregivers should also be educated on what to look for. People who are isolated are particularly at risk. Moscall wants elders to have someone they can trust to turn to and ask questions when they're approached to give money or personal information, or even confide in if there are other types of abuse like emotional and physical.

"We are also doing an advocacy campaign or presentations that we have done for probably over 600 people in long-term care in various organizations to find out exactly what are the issues for elder abuse.
