​These videos were created as part of the Age-Inclusive Advocacy Training Curriculum, which aims to train domestic and sexual violence advocates to effectively identify, reach, and serve older adults impacted by abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

Below you will find four Key Terms videos that lay the foundation for age-inclusive victim services. There are also nine Advocate Interviews videos with experienced service providers from across the country. These advocate interviews move beyond foundational concepts, offering practical insights and inspiration for strengthening age-inclusive responses to older survivors.

Use these short videos to spark discussion at team meetings, enhance staff training, support onboarding, or share with multidisciplinary partners. We hope they will inspire and equip you to build more age-inclusive responses for older survivors in your community.
