Launched with support from the Huguette Clark Foundation for Protection of Elders, the Academy provides information, resources, and technical assistance to elder justice advocates across the country through webinars, the Elder Justice Viewpoints blog, technical assistance toolkits, presentations, and social media. It also provides opportunities for advocates to share insights, contacts, sample materials, and best practices and to make states' needs known to federal policy makers and advocacy organizations.
The Academy served as a catalyst for the National Network of State Elder Justice Coalitions, which was formed with the mission of “ Advancing state coalition efforts to stop elder abuse and promote elder justice.” |
