Continuing to bring awareness to the often unrecognized and unreported instances of elder abuse in the state, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel will be the guest speaker at several Elder Abuse town halls hosted by legislators, including two local ones next month.
• Lansing – 3 p.m. Monday, Nov. 4, with Rep. Angela Whitwer at Delta Township District Library, 5130 Davenport Dr. in Lansing.
• Ypsilanti – 9:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 18 with Rep. Ronnie Peterson at Huron Valley PAC, 2940 Ellsworth Rd. in Ypsilanti.
These town halls follow a 12-stop Elder Abuse Listening Tour conducted by Nessel and Michigan Supreme Court Justices Richard Bernstein and Megan Cavanagh to get feedback from seniors and advocates on nine Elder Abuse Task Force Initiatives and to understand the challenges senior residents and their advocates were facing. With more than 73,000 older adults who are victims of elder abuse each year, awareness is critical.
The attorney general’s Elder Abuse Task Force was established to crack down on these crimes and is made up of nearly 50 different organizations including law enforcement, state agencies, the Michigan House, Senate and Congressional delegation, and advocacy groups.
