Today we're talking with Beth Newman about Elder Abuse and National Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
Stemming from humble beginnings, Beth has always wanted to help people. However, what led her to become the senior community liaison & elder abuse prevention specialist at LCCC stems from a real-life experience that could have made her father's remaining years, very stressful. Today, Beth Newman, along with LCCC has helped thousands of people throughout Livingston County live better lives. Now Beth, along with LCCC, is taking a stand and working to help eliminate elder abuse. Listen now to learn how to identify early warning signs of elder abuse and hear how you can be a part of the solution.
