June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is June 15th each year. Abuse against older adults and persons with disabilities is a largely hidden and growing social, moral, and legal issue worldwide. Join us in bringing awareness of the abuse of older adults and people with disabilities by participating in our annual awareness walk! Our walk on June 15th, 2026 will help raise awareness to the abuse cases received by Elder Care Services and how we can be the seeds of change in abuse prevention.

Elder Care Services is DeKalb County’s only Adult Protective Services provider. For more information on this program, types of abuse, and how to report suspected abuse please view our Adult Protective Services page.
