Our first Finding Home™ seniors dialogue series on Elder Financial Abuse was with a multicultural seniors group. The dialogues were hosted by North Shore Neighbourhood House and John Braithwaite Community Centre. During the dialogues participants explored the meaning of home, ways family members can take advantage of seniors, and strategies to prevent elder financial abuse. Out of the dialogues they have started a phenomenal Victims To Champions Seniors Speakers Bureau and have already spoken at Seniors Day, North Shore Services To Seniors Coalition, North Shore police, City Council, and have several other speaking gigs lined up. In addition, they have created a flyer on ‘Tips on Personal Power’ for seniors and are currently working on a video project.
