To close out Older American’s Month, we want to help you Connect, Create, and Contribute by sharing useful resources to learn more about supporting older victims of crime and abuse.
This work is part of OVC’s National Resource Center for Reaching Victim’s (NRC) effort to increase victims services capacity to identify, reach, and serve victims of crime with limited access to healing supports and just outcomes.
For more info on the NRC contact NCALL’s NRC Project Coordinator, Katie Block.
