The National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life (NCALL) has an opening for our Event Coordinator position.

I started working with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse in 1981 in a rural, northwestern county of Wisconsin. I came to this work after experiencing family violence in my own life and like many others, soon recognized that by helping others, I was able to turn something difficult in my life into something positive.

Please join us on June 13 for a WEAAD 2019 Webinar: Commemorating World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2019: Centering Older Survivors in Your Work.

In case you missed the Lifting Up Voices World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2019 webinar, you can now stream it online right here!

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.

It's May, which means it's Older Americans Month (OAM)! OAM is a time to honor the contributions and impacts older Americans have on their communities, families, and the country as a whole.

My work as a prosecutor in the Dane County DA's office led me to better understand the importance of a coordinated community response to issues of child abuse and neglect, sexual abuse, and domestic abuse. 

You are cordially invited to the premiere showing of our draft video series titled Lifting Up the Voices of Older Survivors (LUV).  On June 5, the National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life (NCALL), Terra Nova Films (TNF), the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), and the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) will unveil the LUV video project and share these memorable stories with the field to receive critical and timely feedback on these draft training videos and guidebook materials during the period of pilot testing and stakeholder review.  

Congratulations to NCALL on a wonderful 20 years of advocacy for survivors in later life on behalf of the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC). Your work is appreciated and your voice is essential to the national dialogue around serving older survivors of sexual and domestic violence.

This year's NCVRW theme, Honoring Our Past. Creating Hope for the Future., celebrates the progress made by those before us as we look to a future of crime victim services that is even more inclusive, accessible, and trauma-informed.
