Be An Advocate for the Elderly

It is so important to be able to recognize and talk about elder abuse, how unacceptable it is and to let people know help is available. The Calgary Buddhist Temple Sangha Engagement brings this educational and vital topic to the forefront.  Our seniors and other significant people in our lives are getting older and may require more care.  

If someone discloses abuse to you, you see signs or if you suspect abuse, it is your responsibility to do something about it.  Please join this informative presentation by Katharina Zacharias of the Calgary Kerby Centre who is passionate about raising awareness of elder abuse because it is seriously lacking in our society.  Let’s advocate for seniors and learn about facts, signs, prevention and resources.

This workshop is open to everyone!
