The New York City Elder Abuse Network's mission is to strengthen partnerships to promote advocacy, education and services to prevent and address elder mistreatment.
Our objectives are to provide leadership as a citywide voice for victims of elder abuse, develop a strong network of shared resources and support that encourages discussion, problem-solving, and information-sharing to enhance service delivery and coordination, advocate for increased development of services for victims of elder abuse, and review new legislation and advocate for legislative changes that affect victims of elder abuse.
Membership is open to any organization, agency and/or entity whose members are committed to NYCEAN’s mission and are interested or engaged in legislation, funding, research, policy, development, administration, program planning, service delivery, education, training, and advocacy concerning the abuse or neglect of older people.
The network's organizational structure consists of Co-chairs, an Executive Committee and Chairs of the Advocacy, Legislative Issues and Special Events Committees.
