What’s On? – HHC Elder Abuse Seminar

You are invited to the Elder Abuse in an Ageing Society Seminar

Join Hunters Hill Council as they speak openly about elder abuse, one of the unspoken issues within our community.

How well equipped are you and your organisation to identify elder abuse? Do you know what to do if you suspect abuse, given its complexity and challenges?

This seminar will address these questions and more.

Who should attend? The seminar will be essential for executive officers, staff and members of community groups, seniors groups/clubs, service clubs, recreation clubs, local businesses and community organisations.

Light refreshments will be served.
