If your organization or community is interested in a presentation on Elder Abuse, or if you are interested in supportive services, please contact Nathan Budashewitz, MSW, LSW, JFSCNJ Therapist, at 908-352-8375, or email nbudashewitz@jfscentralnj.org.
All of us have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Project CEASSE has developed a community education presentation titled “Elder Justice During Covid-19” in an effort to continue to raise awareness about elder abuse and services during this crisis.
Project CEASSE is funded by the Healthcare Foundation of NJ, the Jewish Community Foundation of the Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ, the Wallerstein Foundation for Geriatric Life Improvement, and the Iris Teen Tzedakah Program.
