The Elder Abuse Institute of Maine is a nonprofit organization that was founded as a community coalition in 1995.
Since that time the Institute has sponsored statewide conferences, provided train-the-trainer and workplace training workshops, produced public service announcements and are currently providing transitional housing support and outreach services for older victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
