SUMMARY:Effective Strategies to Interview Older Victims and Document Evidence of Elder Abuse in Indian Country
DESCRIPTION:Elder abuse is a widespread public health issue that often goes unreported due to the involvement of family members\, caregivers\, or other trusted individuals. This webinar will explore effective\, victim-centered approaches to elder abuse investigations that address the unique physical\, cognitive\, emotional\, and social needs of older adults while promoting safety\, accountability\, and healing. Participants will learn about the Elder Abuse Guide for Law Enforcement (EAGLE)\, a U.S. Department of Justice–supported initiative that provides practical strategies for interviewing older victims\, documenting evidence\, and strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration. The session will also highlight culturally responsive resources from the Native American Elder Justice Initiative (NAEJI)\, developed by the International Association for Indigenous Aging\, to support elder justice efforts in Tribal communities. \n\n\n\nThis training is available to all interested parties. There is no charge to attend this training\, and CLE will not be available.
