AG Yost opens registration for Ohio’s World Elder Abuse Awareness Day event

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost’s Elder Abuse Commission and the Elder Justice Unit have opened registration for the commission’s 2025 World Elder Abuse Awareness Day event. Please plan to join us on June 23 for a full day of workshops at the Fawcett Center, 2400 Olentangy River Road, in Columbus.

This year’s theme — New-Age Vulnerabilities: Protecting Older Adults in a Digital Era — brings together experts for six workshops and two general sessions during which we’ll not only explore threats to older adults but also focus on the positive uses of modern technology to improve lives.

Providing a chance to hear from local, state and federal partners, the conference is appropriate for professionals who work boots on the ground with Ohio’s older population: law enforcement, adult protective-services workers, victim advocates and others.

The doors will open at 8 a.m. for registration and networking, with coffee and tea provided. The program will begin with a keynote address at 9 a.m., and Attorney General Yost will offer remarks over lunch.
