The Cavendish Health and Social Services Center is spearheading a project it hopes will help beat back the phenomenon of elder abuse.
Elder abuse can take many forms, often several at the same time, including physical, psychological and financial abuse. The Cavendish Health and Social Services Center is launching a project called "Taking Charge" it hopes will help seniors get out of abusive situaitons and assist volunteers and professionals who work with seniors.
Sarita Israel is one of the instigators of the project, which she says is largely about empowering people by giving them easily-accessible information about identifying elder abuse and helping victim.
At the heart of the project is a website: www.elderabuseisaglobalissue.com.
