The Project
Provide direct representation of elderly victims of abuse, build teams of service providers, and educate the community. This project addresses the lack of resources, provides a legal route to address abuse and exploitation, and gives elderly people here a sense of dignity they have not had before. Also, this area lacks multidisciplinary networks to address elder issues, and my project partially focuses on bringing service providers together.
