Join host Donna Thomson in conversation with CanAge’s Laura Tamblyn Watts
If you are an unpaid, or paid, individual in a caregiving role, the McMaster Continuing Education Caregiving Essentials course and webinar series will provide you with relevant and meaningful information to help you as a caregiver.
Did you know that June 15 is recognized as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day? In Canada, there are many forms of elder abuse and that reality is compounded by the stigmas of ageism, family violence, and falling prey to frauds and scams.
Laura Tamblyn Watts, President and CEO of CanAge, is on a mission to raise awareness as well as advocate for a set of policies that protect older adults and their families from exploitation. Join Laura and host Donna Thomson for a rich conversation about how to recognize elder abuse, prevent it and navigate pathways of restitution if it does occur.
Whether you are an older adult or you have an older parent or loved one, this talk is for you, as we host this special webinar to mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
