Synopsis
Bullying is not limited to children and adolescents; it also affects older adults, including those identifying as LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender).
Bullying among older adults is a growing yet often overlooked issue that can occur in senior living communities, long-term care settings, community programs, and other environments where older adults interact. This resource explores the signs, causes, and impact of bullying in later life, with special attention to the experiences of LGBTQ+ older adults who may face increased risks of discrimination, exclusion, harassment, and social isolation. Learn practical strategies for recognizing bullying behaviors, supporting affected individuals, creating safer and more inclusive environments, and promoting dignity, respect, and well-being for all older adults.
