If you turn on the news, you will often hear stories of child abuse and domestic violence. However, the
maltreatment of the elderly is less heard of. As you have learned, neurocognitive disorders affect people
more when they are older. Those disorders, combined with old age, leave many individuals susceptible to
abuse.
Assume you are presenting at a mental health symposium. Develop a 5-7 slide PowerPoint presentation
with speaker notes discussing the concept of elder abuse. In particular, what forms it can take and how it
can be prevented. In your presentation, you should provide a news story as an example of elder abuse.
You will need to do some outside research for this presentation. Provide at least one credible outside
source besides your textbook and the news article. Make sure to cite all of your sources on the last slide.
