On Saturday, Tempe Mayor Corey Woods is hosting the city’s second annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day at Friendship Village, a senior community.

The mayor will facilitate conversations with state and community leaders about how this kind of abuse can be prevented.

Then, on June 15, the Department of Economic Security will host its World Elder Abuse Awareness Day Conference. That event will feature speakers from the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, tribal communities and other agencies. E

lder abuse can include resident-on-resident aggression, financial abuse, sexual abuse and a laundry-list of scams, including artificial intelligence voice clone scams.
