Guided Pathway for responding to elder abuse

CLEO’s Guided Pathway for responding to elder abuse gives you information and resources to help you understand, prevent, and respond to elder abuse and violence.

You can use this pathway to learn about elder abuse. The pathway asks you questions, gives you information, and puts your answers in a safety plan. You can also save notes and information of interest to a personalized checklist. The pathway is free to use.

When you’re finished, you can save or print your documents.

Who is this Guided Pathway for?

This pathway is for anyone who wishes to learn more about responding to elder abuse. The pathway may provide different information if you’re completing it for yourself, or if you’re completing it on behalf of an older adult in your life.

The pathway is designed for people who live in Ontario, but the information may be helpful for anyone who wants to learn more about responding to elder abuse.

Some of the content may be disturbing. The pathway provides examples of different types of abuse. Abuse is described in detail, so people can identify it and help prevent it. Some users may find this upsetting.
