While there is increasing attention to elder abuse including financial elder abuse within 2SLGBTQI communities, there has been minimal research to date. There are no known prevalence and incidence studies regarding elder abuse or financial elder abuse of 2SLGBTQI older adults. (...) Further research and critical conversations about elder abuse including financial abuse in 2SLGBTQI communities is needed to better understand how financial elder abuse is experienced, its underlying causes and tensions, and to identify what community needs and wishes are. Innovative approaches are also needed to build community bridges, increase knowledge and education about elder abuse, tackle ageism, decrease barriers to accessing services, and ultimately to prevent elder abuse and financial elder abuse.
