About East Tennessee Elder Justice Coalition
East Tennessee Elder Justice Coalition is a project of the East Tennessee Area Agency on Aging and Disability, a division of ETHRA. Begun in 1992 as the East Tennessee Elder Abuse Coalition, The East Tennessee Elder Justice Coalition has tenure as the longest running abuse Awareness/Prevention effort in Tennessee.
Our Mission is focused on results: East Tennessee Elder Justice Coalition functions to Empower consumers … advancing Prevention through Awareness, Education, and Community-Based Activity.
From its beginning as a single regional entity, East Tennessee Elder Justice Coalition has expanded its effectiveness with the establishment of several County-based Elder Justice Coalition Affiliates. While the regional group remains active and vibrant, the County-based Affiliates are now essentially the core of the effort.
East Tennessee Elder Justice Coalition has a rich history of education and training in the community. Our positive impact ranges from the many Consumer Empowerment and Professional Training events that have been conducted in East Tennessee, to Partnerships with state organizations, and interaction with national groups such as the National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (NCPEA) and the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (N4A).
