Catalyzing System Change
The Commission on Law and Aging has promoted development of elder/adult abuse fatality review teams (EAFRTs) since 2001. A grant from the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, provided seed funding to some of the earliest teams and resulted in the publication of Elder Abuse Fatality Review Teams: A Replication Manual (2005). A second grant made by OVC in 2017 funded updates to that manual; this web page; technical assistance; and an assessment of the impact of team participation upon members, their organizations, and their communities or state.
