Barwon Elder Abuse Primary Prevention (BEAPP) Network

This project supports a network of organisations across the legal, local government, health, aged care and community safety sector to work together to raise awareness and increase capacity to address elder abuse in our region.

BEAPP Network Aims to:

• Strengthen a network of community and professional representatives motivated to prevent elder abuse

• Explore the causes of elder abuse and work on inclusive activities aimed to change social attitudes to prevent elder abuse and violence against older people

• Conduct activities with older people in order to raise awareness of elder abuse and where to get help

• Build capacity of service providers to identify and respond to suspected elder abuse including developing referral pathways
