May 19-June 30, 2026 This May and June, in recognition of Elder Justice Awareness Month, ACL and the Elder Justice Coordinating Council (EJCC) will host a 10-part webinar series on protecting older adults by strengthening awareness, prevention, and response to fraud, abuse, and exploitation. This series offers practical tools and insights for professionals, advocates, and community members. Expert-led sessions will cover a range of topics, including:

The session will feature a supported employee and her manager from the Compass Group at Microsoft’s Redmond campus, who will share firsthand perspectives on how effective supports enable meaningful work and career growth. Participants will leave with strategies they can adapt to their own programs and partnerships.

ACL's Commit to Connect initiative is hosting a webinar on how falls prevention programming can be a powerful intervention for maintaining and rebuilding social networks. Speakers will share the role of falls prevention programs in addressing social isolation and loneliness and how they are scaling their impact.

Today marks the start of Older Americans Month (OAM) – a time to recognize older Americans’ contributions, highlight aging trends, and reaffirm our commitment to supporting older adults in our communities. This year’s theme, Champion Your Health, emphasizes prevention, wellness, and personal responsibility as foundations of healthy aging. It encourages people to take an active role in managing their health, advocate for themselves, access preventive care, and make informed decisions that support independence.

The Health at Home Challenge will recognize and reward partnerships between health plans, health systems, and community-based organizations that support whole-person health for dually eligible and near-dually eligible Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries.

Participants will learn how to recognize early signs of cognitive impairment in shelters and temporary housing settings and gain practical strategies for engaging seniors in ways that foster meaningful participation.

Hosted by ACL’s No Wrong Door Resource Center, this webinar will highlight two new resources that define the essential knowledge, skills, and abilities frontline community-based service providers need to effectively deliver person-centered support. The session will highlight Southern Alabama Regional Council on Aging’s Community Care Solutions and the promising practices this CCH uses to train the community workforce.

This competition is designed to improve health, independence, and affordability of care for dually eligible Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries by scaling advanced community care networks, led by community care hubs that integrate health care and community care.

Today is National Assistive Technology Awareness Day, and this year's theme says it all: "Assistive Technology. Everywhere. Everyone." Assistive technology, or AT, is more common than most people think. It is woven into our everyday lives, and it benefits people of all ages and abilities.

This year’s Older Americans Month (OAM) theme, Champion Your Health, highlights prevention, wellness, and personal responsibility as cornerstones of healthy aging. It calls on individuals, families, caregivers, and communities to take action — managing health, advocating for themselves and others, accessing preventive care, and making informed decisions that support independence.
