In honor of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15th, Lifespan is hosting an in-person conference in Rochester, NY. This conference is all about educating professionals on how better to assess and engage older adults in conversations about their sexual health and wellbeing. Sexual assault is the least commonly reported form of elder abuse, largely because of the stigmas and shame surrounding it, but also because many folks simply don’t have the tools to talk about it. This conference will help shift our focus to provide more thorough care to those who have taken care of us.

A free lunch buffet will be available, as well as coffee throughout the day. Lunch will be a salad bar with separated fixings and sides to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free needs.

Questions? Contact Emily Rozek (erozek@lifespan-roch.org) or Tracey Siebert-Konopko (tsiebert@lifespan-roch.org).

Licensed social workers are eligible for 4.5 CEUs for attending the event.
