June is Vulnerable Adult Abuse Awareness Month. Abuse can be physical, emotional, financial, or related to neglect, and it often goes unreported.

This month, Olmsted County is helping raise awareness through reminders on the Graham Park digital billboards. By staying informed, watching for scams, and speaking up when something seems wrong, we can help protect vulnerable adults in our community.

If you suspect abuse or neglect, contact the Minnesota Adult Abuse Reporting Center at 1-844-880-1574. Reports can be made anonymously.
