Summary

 'Hard conversations' is a 6 part podcast series exploring the complexity of elder abuse. In this 4th episode we talk with Diana Bernard. Diana was the former manager of education and special projects at the Seniors Rights Service. She will talk about their work in the area of elder abuse and some of the strategies they use in their education work with diverse communities. Throughout this series you will hear from lots of different people about their understanding of elder abuse, the ways they think about it in their communities and how we can start to address it together. There is no one right answer, there are lots of things we can do to help people who may be experiencing or are at risk of elder abuse and we will talk about some of them. This series has been made in partnership with the Legal Aid NSW Central Coast Elder Abuse Service, and the Central Coast Community Legal Centre.
