The National Center on Law and Elder Rights (NCLER) provides aging and disability communities with the tools and resources they need to serve older adults with the greatest economic and social needs. A centralized, one-stop shop for legal assistance, NCLER provides legal training, case consultations, and technical assistance on legal systems development. Justice in Aging administers NCLER through a contract with the Administration for Community Living’s Administration on Aging.

NCLER offers a range of services to APS professionals, including training and technical assistance. These services help APS professionals better understand and address legal issues affecting older adults, such as abuse, financial exploitation, guardianship, and more.

APS professionals can reach out to NCLER for technical assistance when they have questions or need guidance on legal matters concerning older adults.  Visit the NCLER website for information on upcoming training events, webinars, and available resources, or to sign up for their newsletter.
