Law for Community Workers

Hard conversations: Episode 4 - Engaging with diverse communities

Listen Later

Hard Conversations is a 6-part podcast series exploring the complexity of elder abuse. It is produced by the Community Legal Education Branch of Legal Aid NSW.

The series was originally recorded several years ago. We have refreshed it because we thought that the conversations are still relevant and will assist anyone who wants to understand more about elder abuse. 

The people we talk with in this series generously shared their understanding of elder abuse, how they think about it in their communities, and ideas about how we can address it together. Many of them no longer work in the same roles and have moved on to other things. However, we think that their expertise, experience and insights remain relevant and valuable.

In this 4th episode we talk with Diana Bernard. Diana is the former manager of education and special projects at the Seniors Rights Service.  The Seniors Rights Service continues to provide valuable services in the area of elder abuse.
