On Thursday, 9 May 2024 our CAMS Team were pleased to host a CAMS community education and awareness program titled ”Elders Rights & Empowerment”.

We had presentations from IWAA and Barbara Struthers of ADA Community Legal Service; covering everything from:

• the status of Elders in faith and culture
• understanding what is elder abuse and mistreatment
• how one can help, and
• how elders can protect their own rights from a legal perspective.The program was very well received by attendees, audience, which comprised of approximately 50-60 men and women, most of them elders or their carers. Farsi translations were provided by IWAA staff member Fatemah which proved extremely beneficial in our program delivery and audience engagement.
