This is a video clip from In Their Own Words: Domestic Abuse in Later Life, produced by the National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life (NCALL) and Terra Nova Films. Funded by the Office for Victims of Crime, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. 2008.
In Their Own Words is a two-DVD package and training guide, which uses the voices of older victims to facilitate a dialog among a range of professionals about the dynamics of abuse, the barriers these victims have to overcome to live free from abuse, and interventions and potential collaborations that may be effective in such cases. In addition to individual segments with victims, family members, victim service providers, and allied professionals, the DVDs include several topical segments and a montage of victim and advocate voices designed for use by policymakers. It also includes an interactive role play between a parish nurse and an adult daughter caring for her father intended to help professionals recognize justifications for elder mistreatment. A trainer’s guide, which accompanies these DVDs, provides background on the victims and discussion questions targeted at a variety of professional audiences.
