Protecting Our Elders. Empowering Our Community.
A Collaborative Filipino American Public Awareness Advocacy
ELDER ABUSE & NEGLECT AWARENESS INITIATIVE
OUR MISSION
Protecting Our Elders from Abuse & Neglect
Rooted in values of respect, family, and service that define our culture, Kapwa Kalinga brings together community organizations, healthcare professionals, legal advocates, and caregivers to address an issue that is often hidden and misunderstood.
Our Elder Abuse and Neglect Awareness initiative is a community-driven effort created to educate, empower, and protect Filipino American families and their elderly loved ones, nurses and caregivers.

OUR VISION
No Elder Suffers in Silence
No Caregiver Feels Alone
Every Family has Knowledge & Support
We believe that when we stand up for our elders, we stand up for who we are.
Elder abuse and neglect strike at the heart of our values: Respect for elders, care for our families, and responsibility for our community. Through this initiative, we aim to bring these realities to light:

Who We Serve
Kapwa Kalinga focuses on those closest to elder care. This includes family caregivers—often unpaid and balancing multiple responsibilities—who provide daily support to their loved ones. We also support professional caregivers such as CNAs, home health aides, and nurses, many of whom face demanding working conditions while carrying the emotional weight of caring for others.
In addition, we serve Filipino families who want to better understand how to protect their elders, recognize warning signs, and navigate difficult situations with confidence and clarity.
