Senior Outreach Program in Antigo WI

Senior Outreach

We offer support and assistance to victims who are age 55 or older. Whether you are currently in an abusive situation or dealing with past abuse, it can be helpful to receive support from someone who understands the dynamics of abuse for older individuals.

In order to better understand your feelings, it can also be helpful to talk with others who are experiencing or have experienced feelings similar to yours. Our Healthy Respect Support Group is a great opportunity for this. Please call AVAIL’s Senior Outreach Coordinator for information.

Transportation can be a barrier for seniors trying to access our services. AVAIL may be able to offer transportation to support groups and to one on one peer counseling appointments to make things easier.
