Aging with Respect: Multi Sector Partnerships to Prevent and Respond to Elder Abuse​​​​

​​​​​

​​​This workshop will focus on both individual and organizational level strategies to address elder abuse using a public health approach. By implementing universal prevention strategies and partnering with community based anti-violence organizations, practitioners can create more holistic and trauma-informed approaches to promoting elder safety. This session also includes guidance on creating partnerships with local anti-violence agencies, in order to respond effectively and compassionately should violence be disclosed.

Sample MOUs, bi-directional referral forms, and other concrete tools will be shared. Participants will engage in small group work including asset mapping and a SWOT analysis to identify their organization’s readiness to engage in new (and strengthen existing) partnerships, with feedback and troubleshooting with other participants.

Reclaiming Safety, Wellness and Thriving Through Black Trans Aliveness    

 

At the intersections of race and gender, this workshop focuses on Black trans elders (and not just as proverbial concepts—as real, vibrant people who live in our communities). It is no secret that violence, oppression, and injustice have made it so Black trans people rarely grow old — and for the few Black trans people who have lived long enough to become elders, it is no surprise that violence, oppression, and injustice continue to impact them acutely through elder abuse, financial exploitation, and other age-based violence.

However, it has not always been this way, and it does not need to be this way anymore. Using a concept and practice called "Black Trans Aliveness," we can utilize old ways—and innovate new ways—for elders who are Black and trans to reclaim safety, wellness, and thriving. Together, we will develop and advance our accountability to harm reduction and harm prevention specific to Black trans elders.
