Elder Abuse Educator Training
In collaboration with Seniors Rights Victoria, ECCV conducts free Elder Abuse Bilingual Community Educator Training sessions for people working with culturally diverse seniors, support services or community organisations.
The Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria offers free training to enable people to deliver information sessions in their community to increase understanding of elder abuse and provide information about support services.
The Elder Abuse Prevention Community Education program equips participants with training and dedicated culturally-appropriate resources in a range of community languages.
On completion, ECCV supports them to work with a range of seniors’ organisations and community groups to raise awareness, help prevent elder abuse and safeguard the rights, dignity and independence of older people.
The two-day training is held online and in-person.
