Call to action: Promoting Alzheimer’s Awareness to Prevent Elder Abuse Act

By August 3, 2020Commentary, In the News
The Alzheimer’s Impact Movement and Alzheimer’s Association need your advocacy support:
The Promoting Alzheimer’s Awareness to Prevent Elder Abuse Act (H.R. 6813/S.3703) is critical legislation which would require the Department of Justice to develop training materials to assist professionals who support victims of abuse living with Alzheimer’s and other dementia in order to improve the quality of their interactions with this vulnerable population and help protect them from elder abuse. Support for this legislation has been growing, but to keep up the momentum, it is critical that your Senators hear from you today. Please ask your Senators to co-sponsor and pass this important legislation.
