NCALL, in partnership with the OVC-funded National Resource Center on Reaching Victims (NRC), is excited to announce the release of the Increasing Access to Healing Services and Just Outcomes for Older African American Crime Survivors toolkit.

This webinar will explore the challenges and opportunities that arise in working with older survivors during a pandemic, with a particular focus on issuance, service, and enforcement of protection orders.

This new resource created in collaboration by NCJFCJ’s Resource Center on Domestic Violence: Child Protection and Custody, Pension Rights Center, and the National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life, gives you some tips on how to be sure you receive any benefits you were awarded at divorce.

Julie Schoen, NCEA Deputy Director, recently sat down with Bonnie Brandl, Director of NCALL, and Jim Vandenbosch, filmmaker with Terra Nova Films, to discuss their compelling journey in developing the Lifting Up the Voices of Older Survivors video project.  To commemorate WEAAD, the NCEA just released this podcast. 

As a country we are bearing witness to a large and overdue response to America’s deep-seated, ongoing systemic racism, police brutality, and overt oppression of Black people.

Tragically, as we ready ourselves for World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2020, we’re also coming to terms with the fact that elder abuse is on the rise during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier this year, NCALL teamed up with the ABA Commission on Domestic & Sexual Violence to offer a 5-part abuse in later life webinar series for civil attorneys and legal advocates. In case you missed it, these webinars are now available for streaming!

NCALL is excited to announce the launch of the new Older Victims of Crime Trainers and Educators Forum!

We are calling on faith communities and faithful people everywhere to increase their efforts to connect with and support older survivors of abuse.

As victim advocates and programs navigate supporting older survivors through the COVID-19 pandemic, collaboration, creativity, and compassion will be key.
