A couple weeks ago I mentioned that NSVRC had a collection on sexual violence in later life. Now, VAWNet has an expanded collection on sexual and domestic violence in later life that’s worth checking out. Aside from an overview and a look at some of the current research, there are also a variety of training materials available in the collection, and some healthcare specific resources, as well.
