Fraud-Awareness Course at ADRC

Sturgeon Bay Police Officer Chad Mielke will speak about fraud awareness June 13, 11:30 am, at the Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Door County, 916 N. 14th Ave. in Sturgeon Bay. The ADRC and Adult Protective Services of Door County are hosting the program to raise awareness about elder abuse and neglect in the community. 

Each year, an estimated one in 10 older Americans is a victim of elder abuse, neglect or exploitation. Experts believe that elder abuse is significantly underreported, in part because so many communities lack the social support that makes it easier for those who experience abuse to report it.

Everyone is encouraged to attend the presentation and wear purple in support of World Elder Abuse Awareness. The ADRC will also offer additional educational materials, treats and a contest throughout the week. Register and find out more by contacting Kim Kramer at [email protected] or 920.746.2318.
