When Trust Is Broken: The Many Faces of Elder Abuse

IAFCI Presents... The Protectors

Elder abuse isn’t always visible—and it’s more common than most people realize. In this episode of The Protectors Podcast, recorded at the 2025 TIAA Fraud Summit, Mike and Mark are joined by Kristy Preston and Meredith Smith, two experts with deep experience in helping vulnerable adults. They unpack the many forms elder abuse can take—financial, emotional, physical, and more—why it often goes unnoticed, and what steps you can take if you suspect someone is being harmed. This is a conversation about awareness, action, and protecting those who can’t always protect themselves.
