???New Resource Now Available: AANHPI Elder Safety & Wellness Case Studies ???https://lnkd.in/giWM9sVM In partnership with the National Health Resource Center on DV, Futures Without Violence, API-GBV is releasing five case scenarios. Each case scenario includes reflection questions and discussion points on how to support an elder and their family, and they illustrate what domestic violence and other forms of abuse and neglect might look like for AANHPI elders. Case scenarios surface dynamics such as historical trauma, cycles of violence, cognitive decline, complex relationships with adult children, and AAPI-hate to show the nuances of elder abuse in AANHPI communities. This resource can be used by trainers, educators, and DV/SA advocates and other service providers working with this population. #DVAM #DVAM2024 #EndGBV #SupportSurvivors #CaseStudy
