Two new resources just released that I wanted to post today. The first is from NSVRC: Sexual Violence in Later Life Information Packet. It includes a fact sheet, technical assistance bulletin, technical assistance guide, resource list, annotated bibliography and research brief. As today happens to be World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, this is particularly fitting.

I promised I would come back with a piece on using ALS to identify and photograph injury not obvious or visible to the naked eye.

New Clinical Guide: Photography
January 27, 2010 | 3 Comments
