Presentation webinar 'Shedding Light on Elder Abuse'
Elder abuse remains a widespread yet often hidden issue, surrounded by silence and under-addressed across society. This webinar aims to break the taboo, raise awareness, and call for greater public and professional engagement.
Two experts in the field, Kasia Uzieblo, Flemish coordinator of Helpline 1712 and professor in Criminological and Forensic Psychology at Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Lily De Clercq, staff member at VLOCO, the Flemish Support Centre on Elder Abuse explored the definitions and forms of elder abuse, presented recent prevalence data from Flanders, and highlighted the complex dynamics involved.
