Sophie’s informative presentation to the Shedders explained elder abuse—the mistreatment of older people—and outlined how seniors experiencing such abuse can access help through EAPSS.
EAPSS supports people aged 60 and over (or 50 and over for First Nations Peoples), along with their partners, family members, friends, caretakers, and other support people.
The service offers individualised support, case management, resources, and referrals to protect elderly people from abuse.
