Elder Abuse Prevention Program: Eastern Counties

This educational initiative, a collaborative project with Carefor and the Mental Health Crisis Line, is aimed to both educate and raise awareness of how to identity elder abuse, including its various forms, signs and symptoms while outlining steps to intervention and referral. The program offers access to crisis beds for seniors experiencing abuse and for caregivers who are in crisis. Prevention is done in part through presentations, promotional materials and maintenance of the website at careforelder.ca. Assessments of situations and recommendations to other community resources are done as necessary. The Elder Abuse Crisis Line can be used 24 hours a day, seven days a week at: 1-866-996-0991.
