Leading Faithfully
Mobilizing Clergy to Help Respond to Elder Abuse
Community clergy are often left out of discussions of elder justice, but may be the first individuals who may become aware of elder abuse or exploitation in their faith communities. This educational offering will help “connect the dots” for the faith leaders that serve communities across Ohio.
