Dear Colleagues,
We are entering the season of gratitude during a difficult time, and as we anticipate some challenges, let us seize the opportunity, embrace new innovations, and find collective solutions to prevent elder abuse in our communities. In an effort to find meaningful ways to support our elder justice network, the NCEA has rounded up relevant resources, tools, and trainings that will keep you informed and engaged through
this season.
