Every adult has the right to live free from abuse and neglect.

BC CRN, in partnership with Senior’s First BC, is pleased to announce that the pocket-sized resource guide: BC CRN & Seniors First Designated Agency Wallet Card is now available for ordering through our website to be made available for events and through a local CRN.

This new resource is meant to assist anyone with concerns for an adult experiencing abuse, neglect or self-neglect, and to help direct them to the correct regional or provincial agency to assist with intervention and services.

For more information about how to recognize when someone needs help and assess who to call, read our article to learn how to use the Decision Tree tool and understand more about the provincial agencies with authority: When Local Won’t Do: Referrals for Vulnerable Adults in BC.
