“Domestic violence occurs at all stages of the lifespan, from adolescence to young adulthood to older age. Age plays a significant role in victims’ perception of abuse, the way they seek help, and their definitions of healing and justice. This resource examines the unique dynamics and barriers that older survivors of domestic abuse experience and offers recommendations for tailored service and systems responses to better support older survivors.”
