The “It’s Never Too Late” campaign aims to raise awareness about domestic abuse affecting older people, encouraging victims to seek help. Many older victims of domestic abuse feel it’s too late to reach out or fear they won’t be believed.
Domestic abuse isn’t always physical and can include a partner, ex-partner, or family member attempting to exert control. Older people can be abused by an adult child or grandchild as well as by a partner or ex-partner. Some have lived with domestic abuse for decades or it may have developed subtly over time.
