Webinar: Elder Abuse - Awareness, Resources, Prevention
Community-based seniors services staff and volunteers may sometimes have concerns about the well-being of an older adult involved in their programs, or receive questions from community members regarding suspected cases of elder abuse. This webinar provides an introduction to the subject, and introduces participants to the Decision Tree - a tool for effective referrals for adults in BC who may be vulnerable and/or incapable.
