Communities of Color
Some older adults from communities of color may be more likely to reach out for assistance within their own community rather than contacting justice professionals, social services, or mainstream domestic violence or sexual assault programs. In some communities, culturally specific domestic violence programs exist. In other areas, assistance may be available through the faith community, senior centers, or other aging network programs located in a given community. In Indian County, programs may be available on reservations or with the local county or both.
