Project Overview
In 2007, the National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (NCPEA) was awarded a three year cooperative agreement to carry out multidisciplinary efforts for the NCEA.
The goal of this project is to encourage and enhance the development of comprehensive elder justice systems by supporting the creation and promoting the sustainability of multidisciplinary local and state elder abuse networks and by disseminating promising practices and information on federal and state laws. NCPEA plans to achieve this goal through the following major activities.
