In 2019 The Ryan Show is teaming up with radio personality & activist Kerri Kasem to help spread awareness about the evils of elder abuse. The abuse of elders by caregivers is a worldwide issue. In 2002, WHO brought international attention to the issue of elder abuse. Over the years, government agencies and community professional groups, worldwide, have specified elder abuse as a social problem. In 2006 the International Network for Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA) designated June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD), and an increasing number of events are held across the globe on this day to raise awareness of elder abuse and highlight ways to challenge such abuse.  Donations to help build the Kasem Cares foundation and prevent elder abuse from continuing can be made at https://www.kasemcares.org/donate.

https://www.kasemcares.org/legislations details the steps that each state is taking to put an end to elder abuse. Kerri Kasem has helped prompt many changed state by state to rewrite laws to ensure the safety of vulnerable elders.
