Healing Approaches for Elder Abuse & Mistreatment
Arlene is a strong, grassroots advocate for people affected by elder abuse. In her practice, over the past eighteen years, she has found that no single service or person can meet the complex needs of people affected by elder abuse. Building safe communities for older adults to age with honour, dignity and respect is everyone's responsibility.
