Older Adults and Bullying - A Factsheet (Ontario edition)
Bullying (also known as harassment) happens when a person or a group of people repeatedly hurts, threatens, or scares a peer. Bullying awareness and prevention activities have been traditionally aimed at younger generations, even though the behaviours occur across the life course and can affect older adults where they live and socialize. This factsheet summarizes the definition of bullying, causes, impacts on older adults, strategies for prevention, and available services in Ontario.
