Apologies for my absence, but I have been decidedly disconnected these last couple days while at JFTB Los Alamitos. I will try and make it up to you next week, but I will be here for the bulk of the week, so let’s see how it goes (and if you’ll be in Kansas City for the conference please come by and say hello).
The National Alliance to End Domestic Violence is hosting a webinar on Elder Abuse: Domestic Violence in Later Life. It will be held May 23rd from 12-1:30pm ET.
From the site:
This webinar will explore the unique characteristics of domestic abuse in later life, focusing on the prevalence of elder abuse, working with Adult Protective Services and other resources as well as practical tips for working with older victims of abuse.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- List key dynamics of abuse in later life
- Recognize how domestic abuse in later life is both similar and different than in earlier life
- Understand how Adult Protective Services and other resources can play a role in addressing elder abuse
- Gain practical skills for working with older adults who are victims of abuse.
