Elder Abuse Awareness & Prevention Seminar

Elder abuse is a growing concern among Ottawa's older adult community, and the situation has only worsened in recent years due to a loss of provincial funding for resources to address this crisis. Elder abuse can take many forms - physical, psychological, financial, neglect - and the sources and causes of elder abuse are wide and varied. 

Following the success of last year's Older Adults Summit, Councillor Devine will be hosting an online Elder Abuse Awareness & Prevention Seminar on Monday, March 24th, from 1:00pm - 3:30pm. This will be a free online event open to the entire community, but we are working closely with partners across Ward 9 to address the needs of older adults in Knoxdale-Merivale Ward. 

For this event we will be partnering with organizations including the Council on Aging of Ottawa, the Nepean Rideau Osgoode Community Resources Centre (NROCRC), Elder Abuse Prevention Ontario (EAPON), Ottawa Polic Services, and many more local and provincial organizations. 

While this event will take place online, we're also collaborating with our partners at the Knoxdale-Merivale Council, so that some of Ward 9's community associations will host "satellite" viewing stations for those who are not able to participate online in their own homes. 

Stay tuned for more details to come, and please save the date!
