"We need to think about zero tolerance for elder abuse, just as we do for child abuse." Dr. Gloria Gutman, Emerita Professor Simon Fraser University
In this episode of On The Ground, we focus on the pressing issue of elder abuse with Dr. Gloria Gutman. As we approach World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15, Dr. Gutman shares her insights on the complexities of elder abuse research, including its various forms and the psychological aspects involved. We delve into the dynamics of trust, power differentials, and the unique challenges LGBTQ elders face. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion to illuminate this critical topic and inspire action.
This episode serves as a call to action for all of us to be vigilant and proactive in the fight against elder abuse. By raising awareness and advocating for the rights of older adults, we can work towards a society where every elder feels safe and respected.
