...Elder Care Advocate: A Resource Hub for Nursing Home Abuse Awareness and Support
It’s no secret that aging brings with it a new set of challenges. Decreased physical ability, often increased isolation, and monetary struggles are just a few hurdles that elderly adults may face. Unfortunately, more invisible challenges can occur, including elder abuse. Elder abuse is “an intentional act or failure to act that causes or creates a risk of harm to an older adult,” according to the Centers for Disease Control. Abuse of an older adult, who is defined as at least 60 years old, occurs at the hands of a caregiver or trusted person. A caregiver doesn’t have to be a family member. It could be someone to whom the care of an older adult has been given by family and loved ones, including nursing home staff. About 10 percent of adults aged 65 and older experience some form of elder abuse in a year, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Elder abuse can come in multiple forms, including:
Many older adults experience more than one of these types at a time. Of these, psychological abuse, financial abuse and exploitation, and neglect top the list, according to both the Department of Justice and a 2017 study conducted by the National Library of Medicine. What many don’t realize is that elder abuse occurs in high numbers at nursing homes. In fact, rates of abuse are often higher at such institutions, with the World Health Organization (WHO) reporting that 2 in 3 staff said they had committed abuse between 2023 and 2024. One in six adults over the age of 60 experienced abuse in a community setting in that same period, WHO reports. These are startling numbers, and it can be concerning for those who have loved ones in nursing homes or elderly care facilities or are considering these options. What can elders and those who love them do about this issue to feel secure? |

What Is Family Violence? Statistics, Types, and Prevention Though incidents of family violence can often be difficult to acknowledge and resolve, social services are crucial in helping people heal from volatile experiences and rebuild their lives. What Is Family Violence? People often use family violence to exert power and control in their relationships due to jealousy, feelings of inferiority, low self-esteem, psychological disorders, anger issues, or issues with drugs or alcohol. This violence is never justified, regardless of the issues, the abuser may be experiencing. Family violence can include felony or misdemeanor crimes. These crimes can occur as isolated incidents or be repeated over time, causing years of trauma or injury to the abused. As a result, this type of domestic violence can have a substantially negative impact on an individual’s short- and long-term behavioral patterns. It can also have a lasting effect on children’s physical, emotional, and psychological development. Family violence doesn’t just affect the victim of the abuse, but also other relations and immediate family members. For example, parents who fight or engage in violent acts with each other can cause emotional and psychological harm to their children. PLEASE VIEW WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION |

If you are a victim of domestic violence, it’s possible your abuser has used technology to control you — and may still be doing so even if you’ve left the relationship. According to “Tech Abuse: Information From the Field,” a 2018 survey by the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV), “technology misuse is often intertwined with other forms of abuse survivors are facing in their daily life.” Only 11% of domestic violence advocates surveyed had not encountered cases involving tech misuse over the past year. Fifty-one percent of the respondents had worked with 1 to 15 cases of technology misuse, and 12% had seen more than 50 cases in that same year. The type of technology misuse reported ranged from spying with hidden cameras to intimidation and threats via technology to recording devices placed inside a personal item. Includes Articles on: If you are in immediate danger, please call 911, but if you are experiencing domestic violence and seeking help, resources or information, confidential trained advocates are available 24/7/365 at no cost through the National Domestic Violence Hotline. |

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Abusive Relationships: A Guide to Prevention and Intervention Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an extensive, serious issue, both in the United States and around the world. Also referred to as “domestic violence,” or abusive relationships, this problem affects millions of people each year. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, about 20 people experience physical violence from an intimate partner every minute of the day, which amounts to roughly 10 million cases of abuse each year. Though it is common, IPV is completely preventable, and no one ever needs or deserves to experience violence from a romantic partner. Actually preventing IPV, however, can be incredibly difficult. This issue doesn’t just stem from the choices of individuals who perpetrate domestic violence; it’s a societal problem that requires significant changes on a larger scale. To effectively end the issue of IPV, individuals, families, medical professionals, and communities need to know about different strategies and resources for prevention and intervention that are available. This guide from Rider University Online will outline a number of different strategies and resources for IPV prevention and intervention. It will define IPV, explain the different behaviors that full under this larger umbrella, discuss how IPV differs from domestic violence, and describe some of the most common signs of abuse you need to be aware of. Further, it will outline both the risk and protective factors associated with IPV before examining some of the different approaches to prevention and intervention. Even if you or someone you know hasn’t been affected by this issue, it’s important for everyone to be prepared to intervene in situations involving IPV, and to do whatever they can to prevent it from happening in the future.

A Guide to Ending Dating Violence Against Women The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that one in three women have been the victims of physical violence by an intimate partner, one in five have experienced rape, and on average, nearly twenty people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. What’s even more alarming is that many of these incidents go unreported and never see the light of day. Solving the systemic problem of dating violence that impacts so many women requires creating an atmosphere of transparency of incidents, heightened accountability for offenders, and support and advocacy for victims. These conditions must be cultivated in both everyday life as well as in institutional paradigms. |

Domestic Violence Awareness Through Wristbands
Domestic violence is an epidemic that affects individuals in all communities, regardless of age, gender, religion, race, economic status, orientation, or nationality. Domestic abuse is defined as the physical assault, willful intimidation, or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of control and power perpetrated against one intimate partner by another. The severity and frequency of domestic violence varies greatly and can include emotional abuse, psychological, physical, or sexual violence. Domestic violence can result in injuries, trauma, and in the most severe instances, even death. Dynamics of Domestic Violence There is not a typical victim of domestic violence, with victims coming from all age groups, communities, and backgrounds. Domestic violence victims, contrary to popular belief, do not always lack self esteem, nor do they bring violence upon themselves. Violence often occurs in relationships when one person feels entitled to exert their control and power over their partner, choosing violence to do so. All relationships are different but the commonality in all abusive relationships is the tactics used by abusers to control and maintain power over their victims. Victims of domestic violence are often affected in all aspects of life. Even people who manage to escape their abusers often live with permanent mental and sometimes physical reminders of their abuse. MUCH MORE INFORMATION ON WRISTBAND EXPRESS |

Domestic violence (or intimate partner violence) is a violent pattern or behavior that causes harm to a romantic partner. The main goal of the abuser is to take control over the other person. When people get caught in this circle of violence, it is hard to get away from it without help. Usually, the abuser makes the victim think they are worthless and unable to live without them. That is why many victims do not think about leaving. The outcome of such a situation could be tragic. Prolonged oppression, stalking, physical violence and rape can lead to traumas or many mental health disorders. In many cases, alcohol or drug use is involved in the abuse. These substances lower self-control and make people more aggressive and hostile. PLEASE VIEW THIS GREAT WEBSITE, LOCATED IN SEATTLE, WA - USA |
