Elder Abuse causes harm and distress to one in seven older adults in Australia. It is under-reported and poorly recognised, making it one of the most hidden forms of abuse in society.
A team of researchers from Peter Mac's Academic Nursing Unit, working with older adults and health care professionals, have developed three educational video resources to increase peoples’ awareness of elder abuse, and the ability of health professionals to identify and respond to it.
In this resource, key messages are presented to help raise awareness, and to encourage people experiencing such abuse to share their concerns with members of their health care team at Peter Mac.
