Designed for Elder Abuse Prevention professionals.

Despite growing awareness around the identification, prevention, and response to older adult mistreatment, abuse and neglect, significant barriers remain when addressing these issues through an ethnocultural lens. Existing resources often take a one-size-fits-all approach, overlooking the intersectionality of ethnicity, language, and culture that shapes the experiences of diverse older adults and their communities.

This presentation explores the role of cultural compassion in effectively addressing older adult mistreatment, focusing on the unique needs and challenges faced by ethnocultural communities. This workshop goes beyond foundational knowledge to explore nuanced cultural perspectives on aging, respect, and family roles.

Participants will learn strategies for fostering empathy, understanding cultural indicators of mistreatment, and tailoring interventions that honour each individual’s cultural identity.

This workshop is designed for people working in seniors' services.

Despite growing awareness around the identification, prevention, and response to older adult mistreatment, abuse and neglect, significant barriers remain when addressing these issues through an ethnocultural lens. Existing resources often take a one-size-fits- all approach, overlooking the intersectionality of ethnicity, language, and culture that shapes the experiences of diverse older adults and their communities.

In this session, we explore the complexities of older adult mistreatment through an ethnocultural lens, emphasizing the importance of cultural understanding in identifying, preventing, and responding to mistreatment. Attendees will gain insight into how cultural beliefs and values shape perceptions of aging and family dynamics, influencing both risks and protective factors.

This workshop is designed for organisations that are relatively new to this critical issue, equipping participants with foundational knowledge and practical steps to support culturally sensitive prevention and intervention efforts within diverse communities.
