Great start to this mornings webinar @Safeguarding_ie @roinnslainte by Minister O’Donnell @HSELive #weaad2025 Connection is Protection

ALONE has launched a landmark report as part of the HSE’s Enhanced Community Care programme. This study proves the value of our services to older people and the healthcare system. The challenge now is to align that learning with national policy. Report on our website.

Today on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day #WEAAD2025, we stand in solidarity with our members world-wide who are raising awareness and tackling this issue. A new UN convention on the rights of older persons must fully address elder abuse so we can all #AgeWithRights.

I've shared some of my reflections on what could help from the Willie Bermingham Lecture 2024, which was focused on 'Ageism, Human Rights and Growing Old With Dignity' ⬇️ lnkd.in/efwr866w

Today marks World Elder Abuse Awareness Day! Every year, on June 15, we all join forces to remind the world that older people are rights holders, who deserve to live free from ageism, abuse and neglect. #WEAAD2025 #AgeWithAttitude

Today is #WorldElderAbuseDay #awarenessday. We have seen improvements in responsiveness to this dreadful phenomenon. But we are not yet done on pursuing #zerotolerance. @HSELive working with @CarrollJennifer @kodonnellLK @roinnslainte we are building on this. For today all of us…

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day – 15th June. Every older person deserves to live with dignity, respect, and safety. WEAAD is a vital global observance dedicated to shining a light on the mistreatment and neglect that too many older people face in silence.

Today June 15th is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Elder Abuse is a public health and a human rights matter. Focus on loneliness as a safeguarding issue. #weaad2025 #connectionisprotection @HSELive @IASW_IRL @safeguardingire @SafeguardingSe @AmandaC62359371 @gardainfo

#WorldElderAbuseAwarenessDay: We all share the responsibility to ensure older persons can live in dignity, even in uncertain times. #OlderPersons are not just victims, they are agents of resilience. #AgeingWithDignity #WEAAD #LeaveNoOneBehind

Dr. Aileen O’Reilly spoke on @drivetimerte about how ALONE’s supports & befriending, visits, calls, and practical help — keep older people connected and out of hospital. But we’re reaching just 2% of older people. The real need? 7%. #RTEDrivetime #LonelinessMatters
