This manuscript describes a two-pronged approach to addressing elder abuse in community-residing older adults. Part 1 of the program involves briefly training community healthcare providers to screen for elder abuse and refer for services; Part 2 is an intervention program that addresses mental health impacts of elder abuse in a non-stigmatizing, non-threatening manner, and leverages telehealth for greater reach.
