PEACE Project
The RNAO has partnered with the Canadian Nurses
Association (CNA) for the Promoting Awareness of Elder Abuse in Long-Term
Care Homes (PEACE) pan-Canadian
initiative. The goal of this project is to increase front-line service
providers’ awareness and understanding of resident
abuse and enhance their capacity to respond to situations of abuse in
long-term care.
The activities of the
PEACE are to (1) develop and deliver education sessions on elder
abuse prevention customized to long-term care across Canada; (2) develop
promotional material and resources on elder abuse prevention; and (3)
develop an online elder abuse awareness toolkit on CNA’s NurseONE.
