How to Use This Directory

Purpose

This directory may be used in several ways:  a victim, family member, or caring friend may use it to find services; a program that is considering starting or expanding services for older victims in their community may consult the directory to connect with other programs that have successful specialized services already in place; or programs may simply wish to use the directory to make connections with other programs to share ideas and support each other in this important work.

Format

For the first time, this directory is available as an online database, a format that allows NCALL to routinely update information.  A paper copy will still be available for individuals who request it.  We have sorted the directory into several categories listed below.  The online directory allows you to search by state, different categories or by service offered by the specialized programs listed.
