State Leadership Initiative |
| Over the next several months, the NCEA will make a concerted effort to connect with each state to provide mutual support and share
elder abuse awareness strategies and materials.
If you are a part of a state effort to raise elder abuse awareness please email [email protected] |
The NCEA is working with the Frameworks Institute to change the national public discourse on elder abuse. A committee of experts across the field is currently developing a communication strategy based on research findings on the public's perception of elder abuse. Keep your eyes out for more information soon!
