Hands

Prevention of Elder Abuse


The project “Hands" aims to contribute to the awareness and information of the community on the issue of abuse and abuse against the elderly use as a resource for dramatizing scenes of elder abuse followed by discussion/ information to dramatized scenes.

It is important not only to clarify and sensitize potential "victims" but also current or future caregivers, family members and all professionals who interact and support the elderly. Thus, this intervention program intends to cover a large number of people, taking advantage from the time that people spend in the waiting rooms of the Healthcare Centers.

Its main objectives are: formal and informal care, adaptation to different challenges and living conditions, promotion of the meaning of life and hope and facilitating personal development.
