12:00 pm – 4 pm (ET)
On May 13, join CNPEA and EAPO for this online symposium focused on enhancing coordinated support of older victims of elder abuse, family violence, and gender-based violence, particularly when they are living with dementia or experiencing cognitive impairment.
Together, a series of speakers will examine challenges, recommended practices and possible solutions to provide better support to individuals and their families who experience abuse in the context of dementia. This symposium aims to:
- raise awareness of successful collaborative intervention team models across sectors to assist older adults who have experienced violence, abuse or neglect;
- illustrate the roles that support services and law enforcement can play in assisting older victims by being trained to detect ageism, avoid ableism, and understand seniors’ needs better;
- Examine best practices to provide safe, respectful, trauma -and violence- informed services and appropriate support.
This event will be of interest to both seniors’ service providers and professionals in the justice system.

When community members, families, seniors, and service providers suspect or witness a situation where an older adult is at-risk of harm, often there is hesitancy in knowing what steps to take to protect the older adult. Questions arise… Should I say anything? Who do I report to? What will happen once I make a report?
EAPO is bringing together leading experts from Ontario to address the issue of reporting when there are concerns for older adult’s safety and well-being. The conference will provide a better understanding of the role of authorities and importance of our actions to report, holding perpetrators accountable and working towards creating a safer community that values and protects the dignity of for our older population.
