The next monthly meeting of the Lincoln County Triad will be held on Thursday, July 21 at the 911 Communication Center in Wiscasset. Meetings start at 1 p.m. The guest speaker will be Gayle Erdheim, Program Developer, Elder Abuse Institute of Maine. Triad meetings are open to the public, especially those who would like information on the program being featured that day.

The Elder Abuse Institute is examining possible gaps in service to potential/alleged victims of elder abuse. Triad members such as law enforcement and elder service agencies are often a conduit in these sort of cases.

The Lincoln County Triad is a collaboration between senior service organizations, local law enforcement including the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office and volunteers dedicated to helping senior citizens stay safe in their homes and communities. The local Triad was formed in the late 1990s and has been doing educational projects ever since.

Residents who would like to help the Lincoln County Triad in their efforts are encouraged to attend the monthly meetings and get involved. You will learn something at every meeting.
