Ontario Taking Action To Stop Elder Abuse

Ontario is taking steps to help eliminate elder abuse by providing, for the first time in the province's history, annual operating funding for prevention initiatives.

The province is investing $900,000 annually to provide the Ontario Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (ONPEA) with long-term stability to better assist victims of elder abuse in communities across the province.  ONPEA delivers such services as the Seniors' Safety Line, in partnership with the Assaulted Women's Help Line, which offers support to victims of elder abuse 24 hours per day, seven days per week, in more than 150 languages. 

This funding will bring the government's total investment in elder abuse prevention since 2003 to more than $4.2 million.
