Collaborating for Justice for Older African Americans Guide
Older African Americans affected by elder abuse deserve support and services that account for their cultural, social, and historical context. One of the most effective ways to do this is by offering culturally-relevant programming and by partnering with culturally-specific organizations. Currently, community partnerships to address elder abuse struggle to meaningfully engage culturally-specific programs, limiting their effectiveness for older African Americans.

This resource aims to equip professionals working with older adults to build stronger and more equitable collaborations with the African American community and culturally-specific programs.

Components of this resource include:

• A Report on the importance of culturally-specific programs, barriers to collaboration, and guiding principles and associated strategies for building equitable partnerships.
• A Conversation Guide offering guidelines for facilitating a discussion with your elder justice community coordination team on equitable engagement, four discussion prompts, and resources to further your learning.
• A Community Forum Toolkit designed to equip elder justice teams with resources to bring together partners working with and on behalf of older African Americans to develop a shared understanding of the community efforts already occurring and opportunities to further advance elder justice for the African American community. The toolkit includes a Facilitator Guide, sample agendas, and a sample PowerPoint template.

Webinar

Identifying Safe and Secure Housing for Older Survivors – When older adult survivors are seeking temporary or long-term housing, the challenges and barriers that arise in identifying safe and secure housing options are often significant. Their options for safe housing may be limited due to intimate-partner violence requirements at some shelters or an older survivor’s experience in a shelter may not be sufficient due to a lack of accommodations and age-relevant services appropriate for their needs. Additionally, financial abuse, typically perpetrated by adult children, is a common recurring factor contributing to first-time homelessness in later life, and spousal abuse has been identified as a risk factor for experiencing homelessness in later life (MacNeil & Burnes, 2022). Further exacerbating the issue, the availability of affordable long-term housing options throughout the country remains limited and scarce.

This 90-minute webinar will allow participants to better be able to recognize the common barriers older survivors face when seeking shelter and housing; discuss ideas and options to increase shelter/safe house accessibility and long-term care options for older adult survivors; determine key partnerships to increase housing options for survivors; identify national assistance programs and initiatives that can provide information on and solutions to housing challenges; and develop 2-3 strategies to improve accessibility for older adults at their agency.

Strength, Safety, and Support: Addressing Abuse in Later Life Among Latin@ Elders: A Resource for Advocates and Service Providers (591 KB)

Webinar

Strength, Safety, and Support: Addressing Abuse in Later Life among Latin@ Elders – Older Latin@ adults face unique challenges shaped by cultural identity, language barriers, and stigma. These factors can deepen isolation, discourage reporting, and limit access to resources due to fears of misunderstanding or discrimination. Further, gaps in data on the prevalence and dynamics within the Latin@ community highlight the need for tailored community engagement strategies. By recognizing these unique circumstances, we can strengthen support systems, empower Latin@ elders to seek help, and ensure their voices are heard. This one-hour webinar examines abuse in later life in the Latin@ community and considers its prevalence, common forms of abuse, protective and risk factors, barriers to support, and promising practices for improving services for Latin@ elders.

Addressing Pet Safety with Victims of Abuse in Later Life

Pets can play a crucial role in the emotional and physical well-being of older adults, offering companionship, reducing feelings of loneliness, lowering stress, providing opportunities for physical exercise and engagement with the community, and for some, providing assistance with day-to-day activities. Older survivors may already face service barriers in emergency or temporary housing that lack accessible accommodations or age-tailored supports. Most domestic violence shelters are unable to accommodate pets, which further limits options for older survivors wishing to leave an abusive situation. Safety considerations for older survivors with animals are essential to ensuring both the well-being of the individuals and their pets. To address this critical intersection, NCALL collaborated with the Animal Welfare Institute and the Rape and Abuse Crisis Center in Fargo, ND to offer this webinar.
