Keeping Seniors Safe: Understanding Elder Abuse

Thursday, June 25, 2026: 6-7 pm
Virtually via Zoom

This session will help you better understand elder abuse, including the warning signs to watch for and steps you can take to seek help for yourself or someone you know. Confidential support is available and learning how to recognize concerns early can make a meaningful difference.

Seniors First BC shares real-life examples of elder abuse and provides guidance on how to respond and report concerns. Learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones and how to access available supports including:

Seniors Abuse and Information Line (SAIL)
Victim Services
Public education programs
Legal services

Older adults (55+) are valued members of our community, yet many experience abuse in silence. Elder abuse goes beyond physical harm. It can also include emotional, psychological, financial and sexual abuse. Neglect is also a serious concern, where caregivers fail to meet an individual’s basic needs or provide adequate support.
