Hidden Violence in Later Life – The Difficult to See, the Difficult to Speak Out
Loneliness, vulnerability, neglect, abuse, and violence among older adults often occur in secret. The signs can be subtle, unclear, or tabooed – which means serious problems can grow unnoticed.We therefore invite you to an open dialogue, where we will discuss how to:
- Detect the difficult issues in time
- Break the taboo and make it easier to reach out
- Strengthen what works in practice – at home, in care, and in the community
A safe and dignified old age should be for everyone – even when life makes one most vulnerable.
