What Does Justice Look Like to You?
Mediation and Restorative Justice to Address Elder Abuse
Webinar co-hosted by:
EAPO and CNPEA (Canadian Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse)
WHEN: Friday, October 1, 2021
10 AM to 11.30 AM Pacific /
1 PM to 2.30 PM Eastern
SUMMARY:
In the wake of the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and on International Day of Older People, EAPO and CNPEA and will explore the concepts of elder mediation and restorative justice. This practice, rooted in indigenous culture, is increasingly accessed as an alternative measure to criminal justice proceedings, particularly in matters that affect older adults.
An exciting panel of Canadian experts will share their experiences and perspectives. They will discuss how we can build collective responsibility at the heart of communities to create systemic structural changes. Some of the questions they will explore:
- What does mediation and restorative justice mean?
- When are they a good option for seniors and families?
- Why are they particularly meaningful in matters of elder abuse?
- What's the difference from a standard legal justice approach? Are these alternative approaches being integrated within the existing system to help reform the criminal justice system?
- Does this type of response work and what are the long-term impacts in families and society?
This event is open to all. A 30-minute Q&A will follow the conversation.
ASL interpretation will be available.
