We are thrilled to announce our upcoming webinar: Tech Safety and Abuse in Later Life, happening on Wednesday, 11/20/24, in partnership with the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV).
Join us for this important discussion, where we will discuss the intersection of technology and abuse in later life.
A recent AARP report, 2024 Tech Trends and Adults 50+, indicates that “in 2023, 99% of adults aged 50 and older owned at least one type of device, including smartphones, tablets, home assistants, and smart TVs” (AARP, 2024, p. 8). As more older adults access technology, it is crucial for advocates to recognize that older adults are using the same tools as other age groups and to be prepared to address the related risks and challenges they may encounter.
