title: Older Women Fleeing Violence and Abuse in Canada: Bringing Together Separate Spheres of Practice.
abstract: Supporting older women fleeing violence is challenging work that demands knowledge of both elder abuse and violence against women. Yet, these two communities of practice operate largely as separate spheres. Efforts to better collaborate services and develop alternative approaches for supporting older women fleeing violence are needed.
