Through years of providing intensive, holistic services to hundreds of people who have experienced elder abuse, the Weinberg Center has cultivated a unique understanding of trauma and aging. We view trauma-informed care as a key element of effective elder abuse prevention and intervention. As part of our commitment to advancing the elder justice field in this area, we have curated the following resource library with contributions from our own team and other leaders in the field.
