About one in 10 older adults experience physical, emotional, sexual, financial, and spiritual abuse. Join the Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable on Tuesday, May 10 at 3 p.m. for a workshop highlighting what our communities should know about the important issue of elder abuse, presented by Safe Havens Interfaith Partnership Against Domestic Violence and Elder Abuse. While the workshop will look broadly at responding to elder abuse at the local level, Safe Havens notes that approximately 86% of older adults are faith-affiliated. Research suggests that, when faced with abuse, older adults often turn first to their faith leaders for help. With that in mind, the speakers will focus in part on the importance of faith in the lives of older adults and the ways in which community members might use these insights to offer effective support to people who might be experiencing abuse now or could be vulnerable to abuse in the future.
