This webinar will explore the support services available for Canadians affected by elder abuse. The presentation will review gaps, areas for improvement, good practices and care, and supports that are available to older Canadian adults experiencing elder mistreatment. The information to be shared was derived from a literature review and a key informant survey. The purpose of the webinar is to have open discussion exploring existing systems in order to improve service delivery and effectively support older adults experiencing the different dimensions of abuse.

Of the 12.7 million Canadians who volunteer, over 1/3 are supported to do so through their employer. For community organizations, it can be an opportunity for growing labour and skilled resources while engaging new audiences in their mission. Is your organization ready to manage requests for corporate volunteering opportunities? During this webinar find out what you need to know to get started and to keep your employer-supported volunteers coming back for more.

Looking for a proven way to boost your organization's fundraising, donor retention, email signups, and more? With Personalized Video, one compelling video becomes thousands of personalized ones - leading to greater viewer engagement. Join this webinar to learn the science behind why personalization markedly increases donations and engagement through individual viewer connection. You'll also learn how the Alzheimer's Association successfully uses Personalized Video for two annual events, the Walk to End Alzheimer's and The Longest Day, leading to substantial increases in fundraising success.
