Join EAPO and CNPEA for our upcoming Webinar :
Disclosure and Reporting of Abuse Against Older Adults
on September 25th
This webinar sheds light on why older adults do not seek help in cases of abuse through demonstrating three levels of barriers: individual, interpersonal, and systemic that impede on disclosures.
Based on research interviews with older adults with lived experience of abuse and service providers working directly with older adults in Alberta, the presenters will provide a case study and highlight the key themes that emerged from their study:
✅ Barriers to disclosure and reporting of abuse;
✅ Facilitators to disclosure and reporting; and
✅ Key tensions between service providers’ and older adults’ perceptions of the disclosure and reporting process.
They will also provide recommendations and action steps to increase awareness, promote disclosure, and improve services for older adults experiencing abuse.
