Elder Abuse Prevention Interventions

Elder abuse prevention interventions are strategies and actions taken to protect older adults from harm, mistreatment, or neglect. These interventions can include promoting awareness and education about elder abuse, establishing reporting systems for suspected cases, providing support services for victims, and training caregivers to recognize and prevent abusive behaviors. Community resources, such as hotlines and support groups, also play a crucial role. By fostering a safe and respectful environment, these interventions aim to empower older individuals, ensuring their rights and dignity are upheld in society.
