June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month
On June 11, Fairfield County Job and Family Services held it's annual Elder Abuse Awareness Breakfast to honor those who stand alongside JFS in safeguarding the elderly in our community. Attendees, including Commissioner Steve Davis, heard impactful presentations from several speakers, all focused on protecting the senior population.
Staff at JFS proudly wore purple to recognize Elder Abuse Awareness Month. This month serves as a vital reminder to raise awareness, encourage open conversations, and increase reporting of elder abuse - an often underreported issue.
