Maine Public

In 2023, adults 50-plus lost at least $28 billion to fraud, according to Federal Trade Commission data. In conjunction with AARP Maine’s event, “Dark Secrets: The Terrible Truth About Elder Abuse in the Family,” we’ll learn about the prevalence of financial elder abuse, ways to identify it, and how to seek help.

This program will broadcast live from Husson University’s Gracie Theatre; attendance is free and open to the public.

Panelists:
Benjamin Jenkins, litigation director, Legal Services for Maine Elders
Philip Marshall, elder justice advocate
Kathy Stokes, director, AARP Fraud Prevention Programs

Jonathan was born in Monsey, New York. A field trip to Washington, DC when he was in 7th grade started him on his circuitous path to a career in public radio. The trip inspired a love of politics and led to his desire to one day call DC home. After graduating from Grinnell College, he worked on a couple of campaigns in Iowa (presidential and congressional) and moved to Washington, DC.
