The National Seniors Council, an advisory body to the Government of Canada, released a report on elder abuse that includes a call for increased efforts to raise public awareness and to help those who work with seniors share information.
"We were very impressed by the commitment and energy of the participants at the elder abuse meetings," said Jean-Guy Soulière, Chair of the National Seniors Council. "We hope that this report will boost the important work on elder abuse already underway across Canada."
