The National Center for State and Tribal Elder Justice Coalitions is a national organization that serves as a connector and support center for state and Tribal elder justice coalitions. Our job is to ensure that new, emerging, and established coalitions are strong, informed, and well-resourced; know how to work collaboratively to address complex challenges; and are well equipped to advocate for older adults at the local, regional, and federal levels.
We work to strengthen the network of state and Tribal elder justice coalitions by providing training and resources for coalition building, strategic support, advocacy, and network-building opportunities to anyone doing collaborative elder justice work and allied professionals.
Through our networked approach, we connect advocates, service providers, and policymakers into a coordinated national network that shares resources, drives smarter policy, and ensures that no older adults fall through the cracks of disjointed or ineffective systems.
Elder justice coalitions connect the dots between systems, policy, communities, and older adults.
To achieve this vision, we will build a community of practice that supports leadership development, repairs, reforms, and strengthens systems, builds connections across states and Tribes, and equips elder justice movement-makers with the resources, skills, and know-how to ensure that every older adult lives with safety, dignity, and full access to support.
We work to prevent and respond to the full scope of elder abuse by addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual abuse, neglect, financial exploitation, and systemic violence.
We actively seek to ensure that state and Tribal elder justice coalitions are equipped to operate equitably, and can address and overcome systemic barriers to protection and services for older adults and those with disabilities.
We aim to create and support a thriving network of coalitions that encompass multidisciplinary bonds among social, healthcare, legal, financial, and community systems to improve services and promote sound public policy.
We are committed to growing the field of practice in state and Tribal elder justice coalitions. We value professional development, research, and the adaptation of contemporary work to new understandings and innovations.
