TOPIC: Guarding Your Physical, Emotional, and Financial Safety: Tools and Real-Life Examples

DESCRIPTION: We will begin this webinar with an overview of online resources to fight scams and fraud, protect your personal information, and check “facts” that are presented to you.

The discussion will then focus on two situations that often happen to older adults. We will address:

• How the situation should be handled
• How to move forward and protect oneself better in the future.

Representatives from these six co-sponsoring organizations will provide suggestions on how they can help you in the future.
