This toolkit helps professionals and service providers who interact with older people in community settings play an important role in talking to clients about elder abuse.
This includes legal and health practitioners, home care workers, financial institution employees – and even hairdressers and taxi drivers.
Conversations about elder abuse are important for several reasons:
to identify clients who are at risk for or experiencing abuse
to advise, support, and empower clients at risk or experiencing abuse
to raise community awareness of elder abuse
to reduce stigma surrounding elder abuse
