End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin and the National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life (NCALL) are excited to announce that Kristin Burki joined our staff on May 10 as the new NCALL Director.

Like other -isms, ageism segregates and reinforces inequalities between groups. In contrast to other -isms, ageism affects everyone at different stages in their lives. Ageism also creates a culture that ignores and tolerates elder abuse and allows abuse of older adults to continue unabated.

Each year, during the month of May, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) leads our nation’s observance of Older Americans Month (OAM). In 2021, the designated theme is "Communities of Strength."

The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) is seeking applications for the Fiscal Year 2021 Transforming America's Response to Elder Abuse: Enhanced Multidisciplinary Teams (E-MDTs) for Older Victims of Financial Exploitation and Abuse solicitation.

This April, during Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), we honor the strength and resilience of survivors across the lifespan.

Since 2008, National Healthcare Decisions Day has been an opportunity to educate and empower the public and healthcare providers around the importance of advance care planning.

Ageism is a universal barrier to everyone's health, safety, dignity, and well-being. Please join us now in this global movement to end ageism.

The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) designated Support Victims. Build Trust. Engage Communities as the 2021 National Crime Victims' Rights Week (NCVRW) theme.

We are saddened to share the news that our friend and former colleague, Linda Dawson, passed on March 14, 2021. 

Social workers often are unsung heroes, yet they play an essential role in helping people across the lifespan, from all walks of life and backgrounds, to live their lives with dignity and agency.
