As our population ages, the potential for the mistreatment of older adults is becoming a growing concern. Working with the Prevention of Senior Abuse Network of Simcoe County and Elder Abuse Ontario, I have been committed to spreading the word about elder abuse for several years and I’ve noticed two things that have me worried: 1. in many cases the victims don’t recognize the wrong doing, and 2. no one wants to talk about it.

This year the National Initiative for the Care of the Elderly (NICE) was awarded a New Horizons Grant which they will be using to host workshops and presentations about elder abuse throughout the province. The people from NICE have asked local CARP chapters to assist with this quest and we need your input. Please join us at our September members meeting to talk about what is being done and how we can do better.
