EAPO and CNPEA produced an animated video on reporting in Ontario. When you are concerned about an older person’s safety, there are different ways to respond and report to situations: at home, in care facilities and when there is imminent danger. This animated video reviews reporting options and resources, including mandatory reporting to authorities.
WHEN
Wednesday, September 25
10 AM Pacific time / 1 PM Eastern
ABOUT
Join CNPEA and EAPO for a webinar that 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.
