Become one of our 2017 Champions for Social Change
In collaboration with the Ontario Seniors’ Secretariat, Elder Abuse Ontario and Western University invite you to be part of a provincial initiative to engage our citizens in challenging social norms and encouraging bystander interventions in support of at-risk seniors.
What YOU can do to get involved:
Contact us to register for a one-day workshop in your region (below)
At the one-day regional workshop,
- You will learn about It’s Not Right! Neighbours, Friends and Families for Older Adults (INR-NFF) – a proven, high performing education and engagement tool
- You will meet other passionate advocates and professionals who have been identified as leaders and influencers
- Together, we will set highly ‘do-able’ goals and make a coordinated regional plan to engage your community
- You will take-away the INR-NFF tools and materials to be able to deliver presentations. Each participant will commit to delivering a minimum of 3 INR-NFF presentations by March 2018 and supporting the roll-out of their regional plan.
There is no cost for registration or for the materials.
