Journey’s Way will sponsor a seminar, Be Safe: Information and Resources for Protection from Financial, Emotional, and Physical Abuse, on Wednesday, June 27th, 6-8pm at 403 Rector St. in Roxborough.
The incidence of older adult abuse is high -14% of adults 55+ have reported abuse and it is suspected that many more incidents go unreported.
