Steps for faith communities to support older survivors
We are calling on faith communities and faithful people everywhere to increase their efforts to connect with and support older survivors of abuse.

Older survivors know and deeply trust faith leaders and community members and often reach out for assistance in times of great need. As a faith leader, you can play a critical role in responding to abuse as well as improving access to services and supports for older survivors in your community.
