Approximately 1 in 10 Americans 60 years of age and older have experienced some form of elder abuse. Elder abuse includes physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, exploitation, and neglect. We will identify the signs of all types of elder abuse and highlight current research regarding the causes of elder abuse. Additionally, we will share different interventions for older adults who are being abused and explore means of prevention. (3 contact hours)
