The DeWitt County TRIAD Senior Academy will take its week two session on Wednesday to Waynesville.
Jean Johanns indicates the group will take their program to the Waynesville Methodist Chuch on Wednesday, from 1:30 pm to 3 pm, where the Illinois Attorney General's office will be present at this session to speak on scam awareness.
Sylvia Comfort with DeWitt County TRIAD indicates that the organization was created by sheriff's departments wanting to partner with senior support organizations to make sure that their local seniors could receive the safety training they need. She notes that it started in the 80s; however, it came to DeWitt County in the 2000s.
For the last session, Johanns says they will go to The Farmer City Outreach on October 22nd to hear about technology and how it can be used to retain independence. Seniors can also hear about recognizing the signs of financial abuse at this event.
Johanns and Comfort emphasize that the Senior Academy program can provide crucial information to seniors. Learn more by finding the DeWitt County TRIAD on Facebook or calling the Sheriff's Office at 217-935-9507.
