We’re proud to share our Abuse of Older People Response Toolkit — a powerful, practical guide for professionals working across health, community, and aged care
This afternoon, we celebrated this important milestone with a heartfelt afternoon tea alongside 40+ dedicated practitioners from across Melbourne’s north and west, including Northern Integrated Family Violence Services and the Western Integrated Family Violence Committee who co-developed the toolkit.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in solidarity and shared commitment.
"This toolkit helps to bridge the gap in lack of confidence and taking action. It delves into how to respond to elder abuse appropriately in the workplace," Dominique Horne, Keynote speaker and Senior Clinical Lead at ACNA.
Our toolkit increases knowledge and confidence to take action through:
-
- Practical guidance for safe, respectful conversations
- An intersectional, trauma-informed, strengths-based practice
- Being informed by the insights and expertise of frontline workers
Access the toolkit and share with your team today!
