Vigil: World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

San Mateo County Supervisor Adeienne Tissier presents:
10th Annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

Hear San Mateo County Supervisor Adrienne Tissier and the Elder and Dependent Adult Protection Team speak at this vigil on the importance of preventing elder and dependent abuse. Older adult abuse has been on the rise. As San Mateo County’s older adult population grows, there is more of a need than ever to protect our older and dependent adults. Find more information at www.smchealth.org/ElderAbuse This event is supported by the Elder and Dependent Adult Protection Team (EDAPT) which is a partnership between the San Mateo County’s Health System’s Aging and Adult Services, District Attorney’s Office and County Counsel’s Office. EDAPT is funded by Measure A.
