The Centre for Age, Gender and Social Justice has developed free training and guidance for practitioners who work with older people experiencing domestic abuse or care-giver stress. Our training and guidance are informed by research conducted at the Centre, including the first longitudinal study to draw directly on older peoples lived experiences of help-seeking.
