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.
尽管全国范围内虐待老年人（EA）的案例越来越多，但成人保护服务（APS）等响应计划缺乏明确的、长期的干预阶段来解决这些复杂情况。本文介绍了 RISE，这是一种与 APS 或其他与处于风险中的老年人互动的系统一起工作的 EA 干预模型。该模型以生态系统视角为指导，并从其他领域（包括动机性访谈、团队合作、恢复性司法和目标达成量表）中采用基于证据的模式，在个体老年受害者、个体施害者、他们的关系和社区层面进行干预，以解决 EA 风险并加强围绕受害者-施害者对子的支持系统。RISE 模型解决了现有系统中的干预差距，以更好地满足 EA 受害者及其生活中的其他人的需求，从而带来更可持续的结果。
