DVAM Community Partner Spotlight: Elder Justice Project 💜
Today, we’re proud to highlight the Elder Justice Project through Family Justice Center of Alamance County !
Abuse can happen at any age, but older adults may face unique barriers when seeking help. Supported by a four year grant from the Office on Violence Against Women, the project works to build a community where older adults can live safely, independently, and with dignity.
Through outreach, specialized professional training, direct services, and a multidisciplinary Coordinated Community Response, the project raises awareness of abuse in later life, addresses gaps in services, promotes collaboration among professionals, and improves how our community recognizes and responds to abuse. These efforts help expand access to support for survivors aged 50 and older.
Family Abuse Services is proud to be one of the project’s community partners, contributing its expertise in domestic violence and victim services to help strengthen these efforts.
We’re grateful for all they do, the opportunity to be part of this initiative, and our shared commitment to ensuring older adults experiencing abuse are connected to the resources they deserve.
