In the fall of 2023, the National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life (NCALL) released the Collaborating for Justice for Older African Americans Guide (Collaborating for Justice), which aimed to equip professionals working with older adults to build stronger and more equitable collaborations with African American community-based and culturally-specific programs. Through these collaborations, older African Americans impacted by elder abuse will have greater access to effective and culturally responsive services and supports. Collaborating for Justice presents insights of stakeholders from African American culturally-specific programs across the country who shared their expertise, experiences, and understanding of the cultural nuances and historical context of services and community collaboration. Additionally, the guide reflects the perspectives and experiences of mainstream elder justice professionals regarding benefits and barriers of collaboration with culturally-specific programs.
NCALL has announced a 3-part webinar series on Collaborating for Justice. All webinars will be held at 2:00 p.m. ET.
Remaining Events:
- Tuesday, March 26: This webinar will discuss guiding principles that promote equitable collaboration and practical strategies elder justice teams can use to build relationships with culturally-specific programs.
- Tuesday, April 16: This webinar will feature a conversation with three directors of culturally-specific programs about their experience and insights on equitable partnership development.
