Last week, we had Dorothy Gilmour of the Rotary Club of Melbourne speak to us on the subject of ELDER ABUSE.
To quote from Rotary Club of Melbourne's website ....
" Dorothy has vast experience and professional, academic history in Social Sciences including human behaviours and challenges of specialised groups.
Her main practice was in the area of trauma, loss, grief, mediation and suicide prevention for individuals, parents and families and included debriefing after a critical incident in workplaces and post community disasters. Her services included years of University lecturing in Masters programmes of Psychology, Social Science and Family Therapy....."
Together with fellow Rotarian Mary Barry, she developed the Rotary Safe Families Program.
This program is an official Rotary 100 Year Celebration project.
