White supremacy doctrine and structural oppressions are omnipresent within social institutions in the United States and they are replicated within our social systems, including in the movement to end domestic violence. These barriers impede the capacity of many mainstream victim services advocates and domestic violence programs to effectively support older African American survivors.

Join us live on Friday, November 20, 2020 for an Ask Me Anything Chat on the NCALL Older Victims of Crime Trainers and Educators Forum.

This year, the United States is experiencing the convergence of two public health crises—COVID 19 and racism—and issues like health care and civil rights are both centered in our national dialogue and reflected in our choices on the ballot. Voting is one significant way individuals can express and shape what matters most to them.

The Center for Victim Research (CVR) recently published a research brief, report, and bibliography summarizing evidence on elder abuse (specifically, its prevalence, risk factors, harms, interventions, and implications for policy, practice, and research).

The latest news and resources coming from the elder abuse field, as well as updates on NCALL’s advocacy, products, trainings, and upcoming events.

Registration is open for this Zoom seminar event hosted by the Covid-19 Task Force on Domestic Violence and featuring an international panel including NCALL Director, Bonnie Brandl.

This webinar will explore the mistreatment of African American elders in the United States and the relationship between structural racism and ongoing inequities on elders.

In case you missed the August 20th webinar or simply want to watch it again, you can now stream it anytime! A text transcript is also available.

Join NCALL on August 27th for an online chat on the Older Victims of Crime Trainers and Educators Forum to discuss effective training and education in the age of COVID-19 and addressing the impact of systemic racism on older victims through effective training and education.

NCALL is proud to support the How Right Now initiative, which is focused on sharing information and support to help people cope and be resilient through the COVID-19 pandemic.
