Friends Against Fraud has three focus areas:

• Helping older adults have a better understating of fraud
• Increasing participant’s feelings of confidence in talking with friends and family about fraud and abuse
• Increasing the likelihood that an older adult would intervene to support a friend or loved one who may be at risk of or is currently being scammed.

Frauds and scams are everywhere. Knowing ways to protect yourself and your loved ones is essential. Join us to learn about common scams and strategies for prevention and protection.

In November 2018, the Elder Justice Committee launched Vital Signs, a professional level training focused on reducing risks and improving responses to sexual abuse of older adults.

The Vital Signs workshop has three objectives:

• Help professionals define and understand sexual abuse;
• Increase participant knowledge of potential red flags and indicators of abuse;
• Provide information about strategies that could be implemented to reduce risk and support survivors.
