A very interesting workshop for those who are able to to attend.

Is there any chance of getting some of the information put onto this Forum ?

Never think your own children will not engage in elder abuse.  It happened in my family and my biggest regret to this day is that I did not report the sibling who carried out this emotional and financial abuse.   It would have caused even more stress to my late father if I had done so;  but I still think about it a great deal even now.
