What Is Elder Abuse?

Elder abuse is the intentional or negligent mistreatment of an adult over the age of 60.

We've prepared a toolkit to help you understand what emotional abuse is so you can better assess and understand your situation. You can download the toolkit here, or by using the pink VIEW TOOLKIT button above.

Inside you’ll find links to helpful articles, recommended books, checklists, relevant survivor survey results, support communities and how to find help.

Remember, survivors are strong, capable and perseverant. Help is out there, though, and it’s important for survivors to know they don’t have to tackle the healing process alone.
