The National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life (NCALL)

Newly Launched: Older Victims of Crime Trainers and Educators Forum

With funding from the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and in partnership with the National Resource Center for Reaching Victims (NRC), NCALL has launched a new online forum  for emerging and current trainers and educators in the crime victims field who focus on enhancing victim services for older adults, including older adults at the margins.

The forum is an interactive peer-to-peer exchange where professionals can:

• learn from each other;
• get feedback on new ideas;
• share educational and training resources;
• discuss helpful tips and tools to use in your training work; and
• make connections on training topics impacting older crime victims.

Who is this forum for?

This forum is for current and emerging trainers and educators who work in the crime victims field whose work supports services for older adults. Any professional interested in increasing their capacity to build knowledge on the unique needs of older victims, in particular older victims in the margins, should register and join the conversation here.
