TLN Media Group Launches its Annual Financial Elder Abuse Prevention Campaign
National Multilingual Public Service Announcements to run across the networks’ TV channels and Digital Platforms
(Toronto, ON – May 30, 2024) June is seniors’ month in Ontario and now more than ever, members of our elderly community need support. TLN Media Group’s commitment to seniors is at the core of its community building and today the network announced the launch of its annual month-long multilingual Elder Abuse Prevention Public Service Announcement campaign running across all its platforms from June 1st – June 30th.
TLN Media Group has produced 30-second PSA messages in English, Spanish, and Italian languages, with the national campaign broadcasting on TLN Television, Univision Canada, and Mediaset Italia TV channels with corresponding online content on respective digital platforms.
This year’s focus is on raising awareness and assisting in the prevention of financial abuse toward senior citizens. Financial abuse is the most common form of elder abuse in Canada, where 1 in 5 seniors are victim’s to being taken advantage of in theft, and fraud, among others. Abusers can be family or friends who are close to the victim, or they may be professional criminals who target the elderly via phone or the internet. Whether misusing or stealing a senior's assets or forcing them to sign legal documents they do not understand, it is important to recognize that this abuse is not acceptable.
TLN Media Group is dedicated to the well-being of the elderly across Canada and our goal is to increase the awareness of financial abuse targeting seniors in an effort to prevent fraud and financial exploitation. Our goal is to ensure that we are looking after some of the most vulnerable members of our communities. Seniors need to be equipped with the information to protect themselves, allowing them to make informed decisions on whom to trust, and be aware of assistance programs available to them.
As a multicultural media leader in our Canadian ethnic communities for four decades, TLN Media Group understands it is especially important to address the most vulnerable communities on these important issues in their first language of choice.
Join TLN Media Group in helping to protect our seniors- if this is happening to you or someone close to you, ask for help from your bank or a family member.
Break the silence. Stop the Abuse.
