New podcast series to amplify stories of elder abuse

Elder abuse is a deeply under-reported issue, often hidden by stigma, fear, and shame. But personal stories have the power to shatter this silence, inspire change, and offer hope to those affected.

Elder Abuse Action Australia is launching a new podcast series - Breaking the Silence - which aims to amplify experiences of elder abuse, raise awareness, and provide a platform for those whose stories are often overlooked.

People are invited to share their stories to reduce stigma and advocate for real change. If you or someone you know has a story to share, please email Diane Lyons: Diane@eaaa.org.au with your name and contact details, your location in Australia, and a brief summary of the story you would like to share.

Please note, a limited number of stories will be featured in the pilot program. Submissions will close on 28 February. Participants may remain anonymous, and trauma-informed support will be available throughout the process.
