This special collection brings together selected materials from many different organizations related to preventing and responding to elder abuse and abuse in later life. By focusing specifically on domestic and sexual violence (DV/SV) in later life, these resource materials highlight the complexities of older adults' DV/SV experiences and emphasize collaborative and multi-pronged approaches to addressing DV/SV in later life. Accordingly, the materials on these pages have been organized by their relevance to key audiences.
This special collection was developed by the Minnesota Center Against Violence and Abuse (MINCAVA) in July 2010 and revised by the National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life (NCALL) and the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence in 2023.
