COTA Conversations COTA Victoria, Seniors Rights Victoria & Golden Days Radio

Golden Days Radio's Peter Thomas welcomes COTA Victoria's Gary Ferguson, an Education Coordinator at Seniors Rights Victoria, to discuss our World Elder Abuse Awareness Day Warm Safe Home project.

Originally developed by Dr Becky Nevin Berger, the Warm Safe Home project uses the icon of the house to talk about older people’s right to feel safe and live free from fear. In situations of elder abuse, the home can become a place of danger.

COTA Conversations airs fortnightly on Golden Days Radio, 95.7 fm, on Mondays at 10.15 am as part of Monday Afternoon with Peter Thomas.

Golden Days Radio's Peter Thomas welcomes COTA Victoria's Steve Wright, Marketing and Communications Manager, to talk about Seniors Rights Victoria's Planning Ahead project.

The Planning Ahead project helps people understand the need to plan ahead, in order to protect their rights and wishes as they get older, to reduce the risk of elder abuse. The project also supports carers and loved ones of people as they age, to ensure they understand how best to support them.

Seniors Rights Victoria is currently engaging with Shepparton and surrounding areas, working with service providers, community organisations, businesses and council to increase community knowledge about the importance of Planning Ahead.
