It’s Not Right! Neighbours, Friends, and Families for Older Adults Overview Where It’s Not Right! It’s Not Right! Neighbours, Friends and Families was developed by Came From The Centre for Research & Education on Violence against Women & Children (CREVAWC) at the University of Western Ontario in response to a request from the Public Health Agency of Canada to adapt the Ontario domestic violence public education campaign, Neighbours, Friends and Families, for abuse of older adults. The Canadian Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (CNPEA) as well as professionals and passionate advocates from all over the country contributed to the development of the materials through a highly collaborative process over a year long period. The resulting INR-NFF materials represent the very best collective thinking in Canada for public education on abuse and neglect of older adults. -- Source: It’s Not Right! Neighbours, Families, and Friends for Older Adults. Changing Society In 2012, a successful proposal to the Human Resources Services Norms of Bystanders Development Canada ’s (HRSDC) New Horizons grant program on Abuse of Older funded a three year project to develop a pan-Canadian approach on Adults engaging bystanders on the issue of older adult abuse and neglect. (HRDC has since been renamed to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC)). The project was supported by advisors, practitioners, and advocates representing all provinces and territories. A national Community of Practice was formed to provide ongoing learning, and knowledge sharing to the end of June 2015. The project resulted in a presentation designed to educate and engage bystanders, with the emphasis on recognizing the warning signs of abuse and neglect, and taking practical steps to help. -- Source: It’s Not Right!
