Using Your Tribal Values to Develop an Elder Protection Code Workbook
By: Diverse Elders

The purpose of this workbook is to protect elders from abuse in their communities. This workbook proposes that each community develop a process to address the particular elder protection needs within that community. The result of such a process could be the development of a code or law to address the protection of the community’s elders. However, many steps can be taken to address community issues, and just having the dialogue begin is a very positive step. Visit nicoa.org for more information.
