Elder Abuse Prevention- Could be seen in the form of physical, sexual, emotional, financial abuse or neglect

Elder abuse is common. Abuse, including neglect and exploitation, is experienced by about 1 in 10 people aged 60 and older who live at home (CDC, Injury center 2021).

Some groups have higher rates of abuse than others. Compared with women, men had higher rates of both nonfatal assaults and homicides. Compared to non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Black or African American persons, non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaskan Natives, and Hispanic or Latino persons have higher homicide rates (CDC, Injury center 2021).

Intimate Partner Violence Prevention- Very common-Abuse or aggression that occurs in a romantic relationship.

Physical violence is when a person hurts or tries to hurt a partner by hitting, kicking, or using another type of physical force.

Sexual violence is forcing or attempting to force a partner to take part in a sex act, sexual touching, or a non-physical sexual event (e.g., sexting) when the partner does not or cannot consent.

Stalking is a pattern of repeated, unwanted attention and contact by a partner that causes fear or concern for one’s own safety or the safety of someone close to the victim.

Psychological aggression is the use of verbal and non-verbal communication with the intent to harm another partner mentally or emotionally and/or to exert control over another partner.

About 1 in 4 women and nearly 1 in 10 men have experienced contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime and reported some form of IPV-related impact (CDC, Preventing intimate partner violence |violence prevention|injury Center|CDC 2021)
