2015 Provincial Conference
AGING WELL: Different Perspectives
Join us for a dynamic (2)-day program of collaboration, knowledge-sharing and planning with experts and leaders of innovation and best practices in the field of Elder Abuse prevention and intervention, designed to foster optimized networking opportunities and facilitated discussions. We invite you to help us spread the word, to your colleagues, network and friends, using the HASHTAG: #EAOProvConf2015.
For the November 3rd Symposium– “Bringing Voices Together”, EAO is inviting decision-makers (Executive Directors, CEO’s and Board Chairs) of provincial senior-serving organizations for a day of innovative dialogue and idea exchange between peers. In response to an overwhelming number of requests from community stakeholders wishing to audit the day, EAO is adding a limited number of seats.
Join us as we celebrate the work being done in the service of Ontario Seniors and participate in:
- a “Collective Impacts” Workshop
- an interactive discussion where “Media Takes on Aging” , to assist us in heightening awareness, improving messaging and outreach to the communities we serve,
and
- a facilitated panel discussion, to collectively identify systemic gaps/needs/priorities, to help build a platform for Collaborative Projects and initiatives in the years ahead.
The November 4th Conference – AGING WELL: Different Perspectives, bring together stakeholders working in the field of elder abuse and aging, to showcase the latest research findings and share best practices in program development and service delivery when dealing with the complexities of elder abuse.
