pleased to announce an upcoming webinar:

Building Awareness & Enhancing our Response To Sexual Abuse of Older Adults

Raeann Rideout, MA, Central East Regional Elder Abuse Consultant, Elder
Abuse Ontario (EAO)
October 18, 2016 | 12:00 - 1:00PM Eastern Time
CGNA Member: $20 | Nonmembers: $25

Older adult victims often experience serious long-term impacts following
sexual violence. The issue, often not disclosed to or identified by
health-care professionals can be a very difficult subject to broach with
older adults. In order that needs of older adult victims be met, it is
important for health-care professionals to understand the dynamics of
sexual abuse and how best to respond.

This webinar will provide an overview of the complexities and many aspects
related to sexual abuse: emotional and physical impacts, the factors
associated with aging that increase vulnerability, the warning signs and
barriers to disclosure and accessing the justice system.

By reviewing case studies, participants will learn strategies to start the
conversations about suspected sexual abuse, safety planning issues and the
requirements pertaining to reporting.

Elder Abuse Ontario’s Sexual Abuse in Older Adults training module will be
used to demonstrate how to conduct an assessment, to detect, intervene and
support older adult survivors of sexual abuse.
