Commissioners proclaim June 2026 as Elder Abuse Prevention Awareness Month
Summary
Representatives from Adult Protective Services presented a proclamation designating June 2026 as Elder Abuse Prevention Awareness Month in Parker County and provided reporting information (hotline 1-800-252-5400); the court approved the proclamation unanimously.
Representatives from Adult Protective Services asked the court to proclaim June 2026 as Elder Abuse Prevention Awareness Month in Parker County, describing APS functions and community partnerships to prevent maltreatment of older adults and adults with disabilities.
"My name is Stacy Thornton. I'm one of the program administrators for Adult Protective Services in our district," said Stacy Thornton, who explained APS provides resources to prevent and alleviate maltreatment and urged continued community cooperation. Thornton gave the hotline number for reporting suspected abuse as 1-800-252-5400 and cited a website (texasabusehotline.org) as an additional resource.
The presiding officer moved to approve the proclamation; a second was recorded and the court approved the proclamation by voice vote. Commissioners and staff emphasized the importance of coordination between APS and county services in handling delicate cases affecting vulnerable residents.
The court took a photograph with APS representatives after the proclamation was read and entered into the record.
