TIPS by Peel Crime Stoppers - Epi 115 - A Voice at Every Age

June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month, so in this episode of TIPS, host Julia Vellucci explores the often-overlooked realities of elder abuse, senior safety, and the importance of protecting the rights and dignity of older adults. Julia is joined by Amy Friesen founder of Tea & Toast, best-selling author, educator, speaker, and one of Canada's leading experts in helping seniors and families navigate the complexities of eldercare and senior living. Together they examine issues such as isolation, loss of autonomy, caregiver burnout, family conflict, vulnerable life transitions, and the challenges seniors can face when major decisions are made on their behalf. This conversation focuses on awareness, prevention, and empowering seniors and families with the knowledge needed to recognize warning signs, navigate difficult transitions, and ensure older adults remain active participants in decisions about their future.
