Abstract
Despite a growing number of elder abuse (EA) cases nationwide, response programs such as adult protective services (APS) lack a defined, prolonged intervention phase to address these complex situations. This article presents RISE, a model of EA intervention that works alongside APS or other systems that interact with at-risk older adults. Informed by an ecological-systems perspective and adapting evidence-based modalities from other fields (including motivational interviewing, teaming, restorative justice, and goal attainment scaling), the RISE model intervenes at levels of the individual older adult victim, individual harmer, their relationship, and community to address EA risk and strengthen systems of support surrounding the victim-harmer dyad. The RISE model addresses an intervention gap in existing systems to better meet the needs of EA victims and others in their lives, leading to more sustainable outcomes.
