Elder Abuse: A Challenge to the Mental Health System

On November 27, 2017 · Add Comment

This article was written by Michael B. Friedman, MSW and Kerri Tavel, LCSW, and was previously published by Behavioral Health News in 2015. As the elder boom gathers momentum over the next 25 years, there will be more and more victims of elder abuse. America’s mental health system is not prepared to respond appropriately. It is not prepared to effectively engage victims, who are often suspicious of offers of help; it is not prepared to meet people away from mental health facilities, in their homes or an ordinary community setting; it is not prepared to respond rapidly or to give people the amount of time they need when they are in crisis even though delayed help is often dangerous; and health, mental health, and social service professionals are usually not trained to provide accurate diagnoses and effective treatment of victims of elder abuse.
