Public Information Officer Ed O’Connell was honored to join City of Brockton Mayor Moises Rodrigues, OCES Director Teresa Kourtz, and Brockton COA Chair Jeanne Fuller-Jones for a panel discussion at Brockton Community Access TV on protecting older adults from abuse and neglect.

The discussion was held in advance of the upcoming World Elder Abuse Awareness Day march in Brockton that Sheriff McDonald will be participating in on June 16. Thank you to Dianna and the BCA TV staff for hosting us. Stay tuned for more details.

In May, we celebrate Older Americans Month! Older Americans Month is a time to recognize older Americans contributions, highlight aging trends, and reaffirm commitments to serving older adults in our communities.

This year’s theme, “Champion Your Health,” is focused on prevention, wellness, and personal responsibility as cornerstones of healthy aging. It encourages older adults to take an active role in their health by advocating for themselves, accessing preventive care, and making informed decisions that support their independence.
