The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound and disproportionate impact on older adults, including apparent increases in elder abuse. This open-access publication, one of a four-part series on elder justice, explores these effects and highlights resources developed by social workers and other service providers to support practice with older adults.
NASW is working with the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) and the FrameWorks Institute on an initiative to reframe communications about elder abuse, thereby promoting effective social policy solutions that prevent and address the problem. Read this NASW member–only Practice Perspective to learn how to apply the Reframing Elder Abuse strategy in your own work and to obtain current information, tips, and resources about elder justice.
