For Pink Shirt Day, CNPEA and EAPO invite you to learn about senior to senior bullying and strategies to help prevent it. Bullying affects people at all ages. Older people can experience bullying in senior residences, assisted living facilities, and senior centres, among other places.
This webinar will highlight the results of the Senior Bullying Project, led by the Sheridan Centre for Elder Research in partnership with EAPO, and provide an overview of Solutions: Everybody’s Business - Senior to Senior Anti-Bullying Toolkit. This toolkit provides best-practices and strategies for older adults, front-line staff, and agencies to use to prevent and respond to bullying behaviours between older adults. Phase 2 of the Project will be discussed to explore next steps for evaluating the implementation of the Toolkit across Ontario and its adaptions.
SPEAKERS:
- Kirsten Madsen, PhD, Faculty member at Sheridan College, Project Director for the “Seniors bullying Seniors: What is happening in Ontario”
- Liza Franses, Research Manager, Sheridan Research and older adult advocate

Webinar co-hosted by CNPEA and Elder Abuse Prevention Ontario
SUMMARY:
In the wake of the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and on International Day of Older People, CNPEA and EAPO will explore the concepts of elder mediation and restorative justice.
