National Center on Elder Abuse
New Webinar Series
In the fall of 2023, the National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life (NCALL) released the Collaborating for Justice for Older African Americans Guide (herein Collaborating for Justice), which aims to equip professionals working with older adults to build stronger and more equitable collaborations with African American community-based and culturally-specific programs. Through these collaborations, older African Americans impacted by elder abuse will have greater access to effective and culturally responsive services and supports.
Collaborating for Justice presents invaluable insights of stakeholders from African American culturally-specific programs across the country who shared their expertise, experiences, and deep understanding of the cultural nuances and historical context of services and community collaboration. Additionally, the guide reflects the perspectives and experiences of mainstream elder justice professionals regarding benefits and barriers of collaboration with culturally-specific programs.
NCALL is excited to announce a 3-part webinar series on Collaborating for Justice. All webinars will be held from 2-3:30pm ET.

All webinars are designed to be interactive with opportunities for group discussions and will encourage attendees to engage their agencies and communities about their collaboration experience and next steps in the time between each webinar.
