New Toolkit Now Available!

In partnership with the OVC-funded National Resource Center on Reaching Victims, NCALL recently released the Increasing Access to Healing Services and Just Outcomes for Older African American Crime Survivors toolkit.

Using a critical framework and an intersectional lens, this toolkit examines the nexus of race, age, class, and victimization and the systemic barriers older African American victims of crime face in their lived experiences and when seeking supports and services from the crime victim assistance field. It features three parts: a guide with content modules, a workbook with reflection questions, and video clips of older survivors sharing their stories and an expert panel providing insight into best practices for enhancing services to older African American victims.

For more information about this toolkit and other resources for enhancing services to older victims, please visit www.ncall.us/nrc.
