June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month and we have a turnkey toolkit to help you educate your members!
“Helping credit unions to fight elder financial exploitation is essential to our mission,” said Fred Robinson, president and CEO of the Tennessee and Mississippi Credit Union Association. “We are honored to share our elder financial exploitation checklist and other materials to develop a fully-customizable Elder Financial Exploitation Toolkit that can be used by credit unions nationwide to educate members.”
The League System is proud to introduce the Elder Exploitation Prevention Toolkit—the second in a series of five member-focused toolkits that will be made available to credit unions throughout 2026. The complimentary toolkits are available for credit unions to customize and help educate members on an array of topics—from elder exploitation to credit union principles.
“The strength of the League System is a direct result of our intentional collaboration,” said Brad Miller, president of the American Association of Credit Union Leagues. “By cooperating to underwrite the cost of these resources, Leagues are able to offer the toolkits to credit unions free of charge. Leagues know combatting financial elder abuse is a huge priority for credit unions, and we hope these resources will make it easy for credit unions of any size to educate members, equip staff, and inform their community.”
The Elder Exploitation Prevention Toolkit is a comprehensive, ready-to-use resource designed to support credit unions efforts to fight elder financial fraud through staff support, member education and community awareness.
Fully customizable, the toolkit can be easily implemented across member communications, staff training programs, and community outreach efforts.
What’s Included in the Toolkit:
- Member-facing educational content to raise awareness
- Social media and outreach materials for community engagement
- Staff guides, checklists, and conversation starters
- Practical tools to support frontline teams
Credit unions are encouraged to use the toolkit during June’s Elder Abuse Awareness Month or at any time throughout the year that aligns with their outreach efforts.
By launching this toolkit series through its partnership with the American Association of Credit Union Leagues, the League System aims to strengthen the credit union movement’s collective ability to address critical member needs—starting with protecting older adults from financial exploitation.
Together, we can help protect what matters most.
