Sabby Duthie & John E. Johnson: Stigma & Elder Abuse
Listen now
Description
Sabby Duthie and John E. Johnson are authors of 'Elder Abuse: You have a role to play'.  This first-of-its-kind book undertakes the uncomfortable conversation that elder abuse is widespread and very real. John E. Johnson, a retired lawyer, and Sabby Duthie, a former retirement-home owner, share real stories from families of different generations and backgrounds. In this podcast, we discuss elder abuse and how stigma toward the elderly can fuel elder abuse and create a lack of awareness surrounding this issue. Sabby and John provide examples of the ways in which people can value the elderly, notice important signs of elder abuse, and be part of creating change. Episode hosted by Dr. Carmen Logie. Supported by funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation and Canada Research Chairs program. Original music and podcast produced by Jupiter Productions, who have various production services available to support your podcast needs.
