The Elder Abuse Intervention Team is a collaboration of the Edmonton Police Service, The City of Edmonton Community Services, Catholic Social Services and Victorian Order of Nurses. Our mission is to prevent and respond to elder abuse by working in partnership with the community, thereby enhancing the well being of older adults. EAIT provides a two-fold response to elder abuse. There is a proactive approach through community development and education, and a responsive approach through direct intervention.
