Older women often describe feeling invisible within services, systems, and communities. After experiencing multiple forms of violence, often throughout generations and by multiple perpetrators, their needs for service and support are unique and complex.
Femicide rates against older women are on the rise and the pandemic has resulted in new and increased challenges for service providers and community members providing support, service and care. An overview of femicide of older women in Ontario and high-risk factors which may indicate a risk of lethality (death) will be provided.
This interactive workshop will include an overview of OAITH’s resources, training, tools, tips and knowledge focused on increasing capacity to provide trauma-informed service and support for older women who have experienced violence.
Strategies will be provided for community members, professionals, and care/service providers to effectively recognize and respond to concerns an older woman is experiencing some form of abuse or violence.
