Protecting Rights, Fighting Scams

Scams targeting older adults are growing more sophisticated and more harmful. This year for Elder Law Month, NAELA is highlighting ways to prevent fraud and minimize its impact.

Toolkit for NAELA Members

We have put together an Elder Law Month Toolkit for NAELA members with practical resources for education, prevention, and protection against scams (member sign-in required).

Use these materials to engage your community in meaningful ways while also supporting your practice. Host a seminar or webinar, share information on social media, partner with local organizations or agencies, and more.
