Description
EAPO in partnership with Sheridan Centre for Elder Research, and the Bob Rumball Canadian Centre of Excellence for the Deaf are undertaking a Senior’s Anti-Bullying Implementation & Evaluation Project to better understand senior to senior bullying in Ontario, and support the development of best practices and strategies.
While targeting bullying behaviour, our focus is on nurturing kindness and community building. Throughout this project, we have learned that you cannot tackle the issue of bullying without encouraging kindness and community. Many older adults do not know they are engaging in bullying behaviour until they see the impact on those around them.
In this webinar we learned the “lessons” so far during the implementation and evaluation of the Senior’s Anti-bullying Project and what initiatives are coming up in the project’s future. An overview of the Solutions: Everybody’s Business Senior to Senior Anti-Bullying Toolkit, how it is being used in community settings as well as updates and additions being made to the toolkit based on engagement and input from seniors.
