A resolution designating June 15, 2025, as "World Elder Abuse Awareness Day" and the month of June 2025 as "Elder Abuse Awareness Month".
This is a non-binding Senate Resolution (S. Res. 300) recognizing and designating specific days to raise awareness about elder abuse. It designates June 15, 2025, as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day and the entire month of June 2025 as Elder Abuse Awareness Month. The resolution acknowledges the scope of elder abuse, commends various professionals and entities involved in prevention and protection (including the Elder Justice Coalition, the Elder Justice Coordinating Council, adult protective services, and state long-term care ombudsman programs), and encourages continued collaboration and public engagement to recognize, report, and prevent elder abuse. It does not create new laws or funding, but serves as a formal expression of congressional support and a call to action for multiple stakeholders at federal, state, and local levels.
