The Spearly Center spends the day helping support It's Okay to Speak Up World Elder Abuse Awareness Day at City Park in Denver. Mitch Morrisey and Senator Evie Hudak were guest speakers at the event with many others in attendance. We are reminded to speak up for our seniors who we feel might be victims of abuse. In Denver you can call Denver Department of Human
