RISE in Canada & International
RISE Global
RISE can be adapted and scaled across different settings, systems, and populations.
WHO launched an “Abuse of Older People Intervention Accelerator” as part of the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing.
In 2025, WHO named RISE as one of just seven interventions worldwide — chosen from 89 candidates — to advance to rigorous testing and global scale-up.

How to Make a Referral
Follow the steps below to learn how to make a referral:
Goal: We are striving to create a community-based system of response for elder mistreatment in partnership with EAPO.
Process: First, make a referral to EAPO who will undertake intake/screening. Then, EAPO will send eligible cases to RISE for direct response intervention work.
Note: Referrals can be made by older adults themselves, or by family members and service providers who are concerned about an older adult. This RISE/EAPO response system is being tested using a randomized control trial design to understand what works; cases are assigned either to RISE or a case consultation session with referrals.
