(WAUSAU, Wis.) – Northcentral Technical College (NTC) in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Justice, is pleased to offer a free community event addressing the critical issue of protecting Wisconsin’s elders. The half-day session will be held Thursday, October 17 from 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM at NTC’s Wausau Campus in the Center for Health Science Building (Room 1004).
The public is invited to attend to explore effective strategies aimed at safeguarding elders from abuse and ensuring the safety and well-being of our senior population. The community session will specifically address preventing and identifying elder fraud.
“By learning the signs of elder abuse, Wisconsinites can identify, report, and help prevent it,” said Attorney General Kaul. “Thank you to those who are raising awareness about this complex crime.”
The session is part of a larger conference, Protecting Wisconsin's Elders: Uniting Forces Against Elder Abuse, designed for law enforcement, healthcare providers and first responders.
