Initiatives
In 2022, Straight Road International was awarded a grant by the South Carolina Department on Aging (Alzheimer's Resource Coordination Center (ARCC)) to deliver education workshops across South Carolina on dementia and elder financial abuse. Each year, the ARCC receives $150,000 of state-appropriated funds to fulfill its mission. These funds are utilized to award dementia-specific grants for respite, education, and innovative programs for persons living with ADRD, their families, caregivers, and communities. Straight Raod was one of 18 non-profits to receive funding.
Straight Road's "Elder Financial Abuse in the Dementia Community" training was approved by the National Association of Social Workers for two hours of continuing education credits.
Workshop data for the 2022-2023 cycle can be found below.
