Elder Abuse Prevention Ontario invites you to participate in an important community event, as part of Canada's Annual Victims and Survivors of Crime Week (November 14-20, 2021)

Among the events throughout the week, EAPO will be launching a social media campaign, to raise awareness of the challenges faced by victims and survivors of crime. Spotlighted in the presentations will be the specialized services, and assistance available to help victims, survivors, and their families navigate those challenges.

EAPO will once again be formally acknowledging the commitment and hard work of volunteers from local Elder Abuse Networks across the province.

The webinar will begin with the announcement of this year's recipients of the 2^nd Annual ‘Recognition Award for the Prevention of Elder Abuse’.

We hope you will join us, as we celebrate the contributions these dedicated individuals continue to make in helping prevent elder abuse in communities across Ontario.

Community Justice Initiatives of Waterloo Region (CJIWR) has been providing Restorative Services for older adults in the community since the year 2000. Participants will learn how their experiences and these restorative practices are used, to walk alongside older adults, their families, friends and neighbours as they deal with difficult situations.

CJIWR will explain how building a culture of respect, autonomy, dignity, and support with older adults is making a difference. Citing case studies, speakers will demonstrate how in doing so, CJIWR is able to meaningfully address the complex situations that often cause stress and unhappiness in people's lives.
