Elder Justice: Taking the Initiative on Elder Abuse with Marie-Therese Connolly

Today, I’m talking to Marie-Therese Connolly. MT Connolly is a lawyer working in the courts and in Congress to tackle an ongoing and fundamental issue of elder abuse-both physical and psychological-as well as financial exploitation and wrongful deprivation of rights.
She was instrumental in architecting the federal Elder Justice Act. She also founded the DoJ’s Elder Justice Initiative and authored the Elder Justice Roadmap.
In her book, The Measure of Our Age: Navigating Care, Safety, Money, and Meaning Later in Life, she addresses the challenges of aging, how things go wrong, and offers powerful tools we can use to forge better and healthier lives for ourselves, our families, and our communities.
In today’s conversation, MT and I discussed how we can protect our parents and grandparents, what our culture teaches us about aging (and conversely, what aging teaches us), and why it’s a great time to get old-even though our support systems appear to be broken.
