World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
Baltimore County Restoring Elder Safety Today (BC-REST) will honor World Elder Abuse Awareness Day with two exciting, back-to-back events. First, we will host a rally for the public on June 15, 2012, in the Towson Library Meeting Room, 320 York Road, Towson 21204. Kicking off our rally at noon will be Jamie Costello of ABC2 TV. The event will feature a keynote presentation by Marceline White, the Executive Director of the Maryland Consumer Rights Coalition, who will focus on financial scams and frauds that victimize older adults. Assistant Attorney General Jeffery Myers will discuss the revitalization of Project Safe, a statewide education program that teaches bank personnel to identify and report suspected financial exploitation of seniors.
A free seminar immediately follows the rally, from 1:15 to 2:15 p.m. Professionals will hear Dr. Barbara Ensor give a presentation entitled, “Betrayal of Trust: The Impact of Financial Exploitation on Vulnerable Adults.” Registration is required for the seminar. Our generous sponsor, AARP Maryland, is making the day possible. For more information, call us at 410-887-4200.
