Respecting Wisdom: Addressing Bullying in Older Adults

Honestly Aging by Friends Life Care VigR®

Despite being associated with childhood, bullying is not limited to adolescence. In fact, it can persist throughout life and take on new, often subtle forms as we age.

On this episode of Honestly Aging by Friends Life Care VigR®, Kathy Rusch, a medical advocate with the Women’s Center of Montgomery County, joins us for a candid conversation that uncovers the hidden world of bullying that affects older adults.

Prior to her position with the Women’s Center of Montgomery County, Kathy spent many years as the District Office Manager for the PA House of Republican Caucus. In addition, Kathy has experience in grant writing, fundraising, real estate, and journalism. She also holds an Associate’s degree from Southern New Hampshire University.
