We know that accessing help can be difficult. Older adults may experience: 

• Feelings of guilt or shame 
• A lifetime of normalized abuse 
• Social isolation 
• Codependent or enmeshed relationships 
• Financial dependence on the abuser 
• Limited access to safe, affordable housing 

At WEAVE, we recognize the unique challenges older adults may face when experiencing abuse. We are committed to providing compassionate, confidential support tailored to the needs of older survivors. 

WEAVE Services for Older Adults Include: 

• A dedicated Older Adult Advocate who understands the complexities of elder abuse 
• Coordination with Adult Protective Services and other community agencies 
• Individual counseling and emotional support 
• Personalized safety planning 
• Advocacy and support throughout legal proceedings 
• Referrals and connections to additional resources 

You are not alone. WEAVE is here to help.
