EAAA's 'Breaking the Silence' podcast pilot calls for older people to share stories of abuse

We all know that elder abuse remains under-reported and hidden. Stigma, shame and fear often silence those affected.

But personal stories have the power to break this invisibility, inspire change and offer hope.  

EAAA is excited to have launched a new podcast pilot series to amplify lived and living experiences and raise awareness of elder abuse. The ‘Breaking the Silence’ podcast will give a voice to those whose stories are so often hidden from view. 

Each episode features a real story in the words of the person who lived it or family members who walked alongside them. The voices featured are diverse, honest, and deeply moving. From financial manipulation to emotional abuse, these stories highlight the forms abuse can take and the courage it takes to speak out.

The podcast is available on platforms including Spotify, iHeart Radio and Amazon.
