What is Elder Abuse Prevention Therapy?

Elder abuse refers to the intentional or negligent acts by a caregiver or other person in a trusted relationship that cause harm or serious risk of harm to an older adult. This mistreatment can take many forms, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, financial exploitation, and abandonment. Elder abuse often occurs in settings where older adults are dependent on others for care, and the individuals responsible for the abuse may include family members, caregivers, or institutional staff. It is a serious societal issue that affects the safety, dignity, and well-being of vulnerable older adults.

The Elder Abuse Prevention Therapy program offered by the Court Counseling Institute is a structured psychoeducational intervention designed for individuals involved in legal proceedings or agency investigations related to elder mistreatment. The program is court-approved and meets legal requirements for those ordered to complete specialized intervention or education. This evidence-based therapy focuses on increasing awareness, fostering accountability, and addressing the underlying issues that contribute to neglect, mistreatment, or exploitation of elderly individuals. The therapist-led format provides a supportive and guided space for participants to engage meaningfully with the content and reflect on their actions and responsibilities.

Through a combination of therapeutic guidance and structured curriculum, participants in this program gain insight into power imbalances in caregiving relationships, develop empathy for the experiences of older adults, and learn strategies for healthier and more respectful caregiving practices. The program emphasizes the importance of ethical behavior, emotional regulation, and communication in preventing future incidents of abuse. By promoting accountability and informed caregiving, the Court Counseling Institute’s Elder Abuse Prevention Therapy helps reduce recidivism and supports the safety and dignity of elderly individuals in our communities.
