ABOUT
Future Us was launched in March 2022 as a pan-Canadian roadmap to the prevention of elder abuse. Join us on Tuesday, May 6 to find out what has been happening across Canada over the past 3 years to advance a national dialogue on the Strategy's three goals :
- Prioritize prevention of elder abuse and neglect in every community
- Establish and support elder abuse prevention networks at local, regional, and national levels
- Teach everyone to recognize warning signs of abuse and neglect, how to respond safely and effectively and where to refer in the community to find help
Stories of growth, challenge and change will be shared from across Canada to acknowledge the steady commitment and ingenuity of grassroots leaders and networks. An interactive discussion with advocates from provincial and territorial Elder Abuse Prevention Networks will impart their experiences strengthening and developing new networks unique to their jurisdiction, forming creative alliances, and working strategically across communities and with all levels of government to achieve our common goals.
This webinar will inspire people of all ages to engage in the Future Us movement and join our shared journey to creating a safe, supportive and inclusive society.
