Fraud prevention workshop

Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County hosts a “Living Alone Now” workshop from 2-3:30 p.m., Thursday, March 19, at the VHOCC headquarters, 829 E. Eighth St., Port Angeles.

This “Fraud Prevention & Consumer Protection” workshop is designed to create understanding of the complex areas of fraud and identity theft and to give participants a chance to broaden their skills in self- advocacy and boundary-setting. This workshop will contain content and group dialogue.

The workshop is free and open to the public. Space is limited; pre-registration is required, by calling 360-452-1511 or emailing to vsm@vhocc.org.

The VHOCC “Living Alone Now Series” continues through the rest of March. The final series workshopis “Self-Care” (March 26).
