It is crucial for elders to get the help they need and be given ways to attain the justice they deserve if they are abused. There is a gap in knowledge on what abuse is and how to prevent it from happening in the community and institutionalized settings. My question is how effective are trainings and interventions in regards to elder abuse. Do these trainings
