National Network of State Elder Justice Coalitions (NNSEJC)
​

" Advancing state coalition efforts to stop elder abuse and promote elder justice " 

email us at: 
nnsejc@gmail.com

Our Purpose

  • ​To help statewide elder justice coalitions with multiple professional constituencies attain their common goals
  • To collect and make available innovative models and strategic approaches to strengthen members’ capacity and program efforts
  • To generate networking opportunities for state elder justice coalitions
  • To assist new multidisciplinary state elder justice projects to develop broad-based, sustainable coalitions

Membership in NNSEJC

State or tribal elder justice coalitions are eligible for membership in NNSEJC.  Our working definition of  coalitions is: "an ongoing multidisciplinary state- (or tribal-) level collaborative with defined membership that is dedicated to identifying and addressing gaps or inadequacies in policy and practice related to elder abuse detection, prevention, and intervention." Besides coalitions, they may be called networks, councils, commissions, associations, partnerships, and task forces.

To join NNSEJC, send the following information to nnsejc@gmail.com:
  • ​Name and address of the state coalition
  • Contact person 
  • Coalition website, if applicable
  • Name of designated representative(s) to NNSEJC, and contact information
Designated representatives will receive periodic communications, including updates on NNSEJC and invitations to participate in conference calls, webinars, and other activities.

Building an Elder Justice Movement State by State 
​​Protecting the rights, safety, and security of older adults requires comprehensive public policy for abuse reporting, legal assistance, victims' and patients' rights, consumer protection, and long term services and supports. NNSEJCs Steering Committee members describe state coalitions in California, Minnesota, Ohio, and New York that are mobilizing stakeholders to prevent abuse, counter ageism, promote autonomy and independence, and improve services.
