Communities of faith and religious institutions are hubs for aging adults, where they feel safe, valued and may escape social isolation. As such, faith and lay leaders are uniquely positioned to serve as their advocates and connect them with vital social services. This week's "Online Briefing for Community & Faith Partners," hosted by the San Francisco Interfaith Council (SFIC), welcomes Ali Chiu of the Elder Abuse Prevention Program at Institute on Aging (IOA), who will present important information on abuse against elders and dependent adults. In addition to offering a basic definition of elder abuse, she will discuss the dynamics and different types of abuse, who abuses and who’s abused, and red flags of which to be aware. Her remarks will also provide the audience with practical and vital resources offered by public and nonprofit service providers, as well as critical knowledge and tools to protect this vulnerable sector of our community.
