NEW Website on Elder Abuse
AoA has established a new website for the National Center on Elder
Abuse: www.ncea.aoa.gov .
dedicated to the prevention of elder mistreatment. Among the resources
on the redesigned website, users will find information about:
* How to find help if you are worried about a senior in your community;
* Definitions, signs, and risks of elder mistreatment; and
* Resources for caregivers.
NCEA will assist AoA in providing leadership to the field of elder
justice by:
* Expanding multi-disciplinary approaches to addressing elder
mistreatment by awarding $100,000 each year in mini-grants to local
community efforts;
* Identifying the training needs of five key professions that work to
address elder mistreatment and, based on the needs assessment,
efficiently and effectively
targeting NCEA training efforts; and
* Undertaking a national public awareness campaign.
To learn more about NCEA, its mission, and activities to prevent and
address elder abuse, neglect and exploitation, please visit:
