A resolution designating June 15, 2024, as "World Elder Abuse Awareness Day" and the month of June 2024 as "Elder Abuse Awareness Month".

SRES 774 is a Senate resolution designating June 15, 2024, as "World Elder Abuse Awareness Day" and June 2024 as "Elder Abuse Awareness Month." It aims to raise public awareness about elder abuse, which affects approximately 1 in 10 adults over 60 annually through physical, financial, or psychological exploitation. The resolution encourages individuals and professionals to learn to recognize, report, and respond to elder abuse by connecting with adult protective services and long-term care ombudsman programs. This symbolic designation does not create new laws or funding but highlights ongoing efforts to protect vulnerable older adults, particularly those with cognitive impairments, disabilities, or isolation.
