The Canadian Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse

Réseau canadien pour la prévention des mauvais traitements

 envers les aînés

 

The CNPEA~RCPMTA is dedicated to the prevention of the abuse of older people in Canada.

This website provides information to raise awareness of key issues around abuse and neglect in later life and to assure older adults are treated as full citizens in Canadian society.

The website is intended to help people access and share information on abuse and neglect issues in later life, as well as learn more about what is being done across Canada to address this important health, social and legal issue.

Help us work toward a Canadian society that respects and embraces all ages!
