This poster aims to disseminate the guidebook entitled "Violence against the elderly in the family context: support guide for professionals in the identification and signaling”. This resource was developed during the internship and supervision developed of the degree in Social Education at the School of Education of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança in the Center for Support Victims of Domestic Violence in the District of Bragança (Núcleo de Apoio às Vítimas de Violência Doméstica do Distrito de Bragança). This guidebook, that emerges from the local needs of the northern and interior region of Portugal, accomplishes the following objectives: (i) to allow greater articulation of the networking involved in elderly prevention; (ii) to contribute to a self-reflection towards a better development of professional knowledge and skills for the identification and signaling of elderly victims of domestic violence, and (iii) to reaffirm the visibility of this form of victimization in the family context. The guidebook is composed of eleven chapters, subject through a rigorous peer-review process and based on scientific and empirical evidences on violence against the elderly. The proposed premises and guidelines intend that the intervention developed by professionals and organizations ensures the rights, the dignity and the safety of the elderly person.
