OCASI - Initiative to End Gender-Based Violence (GBV) cordially invites you to participate in the upcoming webinar: Beyond the Surface: Addressing the Complexities of Elder Abuse and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)
Elder abuse is often hidden behind a veil of silence, made more complex by ageism that permeates our society. To provide effective support, we must look deeper at the unique barriers seniors face--from cognitive decline to the power dynamics of intimate partner violence (IPV). Join this webinar to:
- Identify core forms of elder abuse and the nuances of IPV in later life.
- Recognize red flags often obscured by ageist assumptions.
- Analyze unique barriers to disclosure, such as cultural isolation or cognitive health.
- Demonstrate techniques for initiating trauma-informed, supportive conversations.
- Apply a standardized response guide to navigate interventions effectively.
