BC CEAS is the only non-profit organization in Western Canada offering a mix of legal psycho-social and justice based supports to older adults. BC CEAS has staff from different professional fields. As a result, the Elder Law Clinic is able to benefit from the expertise of staff in other programs under the BC CEAS umbrella, and from easy access to programs in the community programs arm of the agency. Similarly, the community program arm of the agency is able to benefit from the expertise of the Elder Law Clinic, providing a legal lens to publications, educational initiatives and advocacy work.

This has allowed us to gain expertise about elder abuse issues from different professional perspectives and has given us a unique, holistic and multi-disciplinary perspective.  As well, our research work is informed by the actual experience of our clients.

We serve more than 200 clients per month in our programs and services. For more information about other programs at BC CEAS please go to the main BC CEAS site.
