[DV_listserv] FW: Stalking in later life WEBINAR

[Domestic Violence issues]

Greetings,
January is National Stalking Awareness Month.  On January 31, 2013, NCALL and the Stalking Resource Center are hosting a webinar on stalking in later life.  A brief description of the webinar is below:


                                Recognizing and Responding to Stalking in Later Life
January 31, 2013, 1:30 ET.
Hosted by the Stalking Resource Center at the National Center for Victims of Crime and the National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life
 A 2010 national study found that 1 in 6 women and 1 in 19 men will be stalked in their lifetime. While stalking occurs across the lifespan, research indicates that approximately 10% of stalking victims are ages 50 - 64 and 4% are age 65 or older. Most stalking victims know their offenders. For older stalking victims, the offender may be current or former intimate partner, a relative, or an acquaintance, such as a current or former care giver. Victims of stalking in later life face unique challenges, including lack of dedicated services for stalking victims and lack of recognition of stalking among providers of services to older adults. This webinar will provide participants with an understanding of the dynamics of stalking, explore the challenges faced by victims of stalking in later life, and provide professionals with considerations for working with older stalking victims.

In connection with this announcement, we are requesting that you provide us with examples or brief descriptions of cases of stalking in later life from your community or based on your experience - by January 18, 2013, if possible.  We are interested in including information about as many cases as possible in the webinar.  We will redact identifying information.
