The International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA) is a nonprofit organization that aims to increase society's ability, through international collaboration, to recognize and respond to the mistreatment of older people in whatever setting it occurs, so that the later years of life will be free from abuse, neglect, and exploitation while at the same time acknowledging the diversity of culture, background, and life style of the world population.
Our objectives are are 1) to increase public awareness and knowledge of elder abuse, 2) to promote education and training of professionals and paraprofessionals in identification, treatment and prevention, 3) to further advocacy on behalf of abused and neglected elders, and 4) to stimulate research into the causes, consequences, prevalence, treatment, and prevention of elder abuse and neglect.
