Roads To Recovery

The United Nations General Assembly designated June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day in 2006. This is a day for the world to voice its opposition to the abuse and suffering inflicted on older people. Today I chat with Elsie Stokie, Lawyer, Barwon Community Legal Service, Brendan Whitefield, Leading Senior Constable, Geelong Family Violence Unit, and Anita Frayman, Founder of Elder Solutions.
