The U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is committed to raising awareness and supporting training and services to address incidents of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Through the Training and Services to End Abuse in Later in Life Program, OVW provides grantees with an opportunity to work collaboratively with their project partners to improve the response to older victims and hold offenders accountable through professional training, victim services, and a coordinated community response.

The Responding to Abuse in Later Life: Promoting Respect and Safety for Older Victims training curriculum was developed for OVW grantees implementing the Training and Services to Address Abuse in Later Life grant. The curriculum provides information, strategies, and intervention techniques to enhance direct service providers’ ability to effectively serve older victims and collaborate with community partners. As a result of this training, participants will be better equipped to work collaboratively to deliver services that prioritize victim safety and improve the quality of life for all older survivors of abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
