About INPEA

Acknowledging the diversity of culture, background, and life style of the world population, the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse aims to increase society's ability, through international collaboration, to recognise and respond to the mistreatment of older people in whatever setting it occurs, so that the latter years of life will be free from abuse, neglect and exploitation.

Objectives

• to increase public awareness and knowledge of the issue
• to promote education and training of professionals and paraprofessionals in identification, treatment and prevention
• to further advocacy on behalf of abused and neglected elders
• to stimulate research into the causes, consequences, prevalence, treatment and prevention of elder abuse and neglect
