It's Not Right! | How You Can Identify Abuse and Help Older Adults at Risk

The It’s Not Right! brochure provides guidance on recognizing abuse and supporting older adults who may be at risk. Designed for neighbours, friends, and family members, this resource helps individuals understand warning signs, respond safely, and connect with appropriate supports.

The brochure outlines different types of abuse, including physical, emotional, financial, and neglect, and highlights how these situations often involve someone known to the older adult. It also explores common risk factors such as isolation, dependency, and changes in behaviour or living situations.

Practical steps are included to help you respond, including how to recognize concerns, start a conversation, and support someone in finding help. The guide emphasizes listening without judgment, respecting decisions, and prioritizing safety.

This resource also provides information on safety planning and how to access local supports, including the Older Adult Response Service (OARS) in Regina.
