Today, June 15, is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD). Sadly, elder abuse is most often perpetrated by someone the older person knows, with two thirds of abusers being an adult child. Abusers can also be other relatives and even friends.

Right at Home has a zero tolerance approach to elder abuse.

Today is Global Day of Parents! Designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012, Global Day of Parents provides an opportunity to appreciate all parents for their "selfless commitment to children and their lifelong sacrifice towards nurturing this relationship".

Let's make an extra effort today and always to tell our parents how much we love and appreciate them. And, for anyone who has lost one or both parents, let's share our love and support with them also.

As our loved ones age, we may face difficult decisions about their care. Do they have trusted friends, family members, or financial or legal experts to rely on? https://ow.ly/sPl150S0WOF

National Palliative Care Week (NPCW) is here. From Sunday, 19 May 2024 to Saturday, 25 May 2024, Australians are invited to bring the same openness and curiosity we have for life to how we approach end-of-life and explore the thoughts and conversations that go with it. https://ow.ly/pzX150REkc9

In 1993, the United Nations General Assembly decided that 15 May of every year should be observed as The International Day of Families. This day provides an opportunity to promote awareness of issues relating to families and to increase the knowledge of the social, economic, and demographic processes affecting families.

International Day of Families will this year raise awareness of how climate change impacts families and the role they can play in climate action.
