Drawing from a 2018 daylong symposium that brought together experts to consider the effect of trauma in the lives of elder abuse victims and the recently released “The Things They Carry: Advancing Trauma – Informed Responses to Elder Abuse,” this webinar will explore why we need to understand trauma and recommendations on how it might be addressed in practice, education, research and policy. The panelists will further describe what led to the recommendations and why they are critical for the future of creating skilled trauma-informed responses to elder abuse. In understanding trauma and trauma informed approaches, one such program, The Sanctuary Model, will be briefly discussed.

Facilitator: Molly Davies, Vice President, WISE and Healthy Aging and CEJC Steering Committee member

Panelists:

Joy Solomon, Esq., Director and Managing Attorney, The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Center for Elder Justice at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale
Risa Breckman, LCSW, Executive Director, Weill Cornell Medicine’s New York City Elder Abuse Center (NYCEAC)
Sarah Yanosy, LCSW, Co-developer of the Sanctuary Model and Creating PRESENCE, system-wide trauma responsive care consultant
