World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) – Building Strong Support for Elders
WEAAD was launched on June 15, 2006 by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and the World Health Organization at the United Nations. The purpose of WEAAD is to provide an opportunity for communities around the world to promote a better understanding of abuse and neglect of older people by raising awareness of the cultural, social, economic and demographic processes affecting elder abuse and neglect. In addition, WEAAD is in support of the United Nations International Plan of Action acknowledging the significance of elder abuse as a public health and human rights issue. In a society that values the just treatment of all people, WEAAD reminds us that elder abuse has implications for all of us, and so it’s important to find the right solutions to it. WEAAD is a call-to-action for society’s individuals, organizations, and communities to educate each other on how to identify, address and prevent abuse so we can all do our part to support everyone as we age.
Meetings are held on the third Monday of the month. Public attendance is always welcome though there may not always be an opportunity for public input.

The Longest Day is the day with the most light — the summer solstice. On June 20, thousands of participants from across the world come together to fight the darkness of Alzheimer’s through an activity of their choice. Together, they use their creativity and passion to raise funds and awareness for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association.
As has been well-documented, the state’s healthcare workforce has been at the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. While much of the recent focus has been on the tremendous efforts of providers and how they are taking care of patients, the issue has also served to place a fresh spotlight on the ongoing workforce shortage and the concerns of many as to what this mean for NH’s future.
As we work together to provide care across the continuum, this webinar will provide a perspective on the direct care workforce in the time of COVID-19 and some of the actions needed to address this vital issue. The Direct Care Workforce Strategic Workgroup is pleased to offer this webinar, the first in a series, which will examine and highlight the many issues impacting the direct care workforce in our state.
In addition to a robust conversation with experienced voices in the field, this webinar will also include clips of the documentary Call to Care NH. For those interested, we invite you to view the full Documentary here prior to the webinar.
