Join us on September 25th for the upcoming NCEA webcast which will feature the Elder Justice Community Collaboration initiative.

Each year, selected organizations receive NCEA funding to develop new, local elder justice networks and to develop strategies to address detection, intervention, and prevention of elder abuse. The new coalitions participate in a one-day, kick-off training on building successful coalitions, and leave the training with a Strategic Plan that serves as a roadmap for their continued growth and success. To date, 24 coalitions have been funded. This presentation will feature an overview of the training and development process of these new coalitions.
