SAiF's Elder Abuse Response and Awareness

Awareness, prevention, and a coordinated response to abuse of elders (defined as those over 50 years of age) is a cornerstone of our program.

​

We accept calls and emails from the general public about elder abuse. Intakes are conducted weekly and we do our best to provide appropriate resources as needed.

​

Our awareness program educates the community, businesses, and organizations in understanding the signs of elder abuse, how to help, and what resources are available for those in their community on this issue.

​

We encourage the general public to report elder abuse whenever they suspect it's occurring. You can report it to us via email or phone. You can also contact your local RCMP detachment, call 211, or speak to your health care professional.

​

To inquire about our Elder Abuse program, please contact our Elder Abuse Response Coordinator.

Seniors Sexuality, (Online) Dating, and Safety

We're partnering with our own St Albert Library for this free in person presentation on sexual health, dating and relationships. Online dating can be a wonderful opportunity for human connection and to meet people for dating and relationships. However, while seniors are fast turning to online dating, there are pitfalls, scams, and fraudsters on many of those platforms and it's user beware! We'll provide information for older adults dating while maintaining their safety and security.

Date: TBD
