Presented by NLRC partner, The Center for Social Gerontology. 

All Model Approaches Award Recipients are tasked with conducting an assessment of the legal needs of older persons in their state and also assessing the capacity of their state's current legal delivery system to meet those needs.  This webinar will look at how to complete both of these essential tasks.  For needs assessments, we will look at different approaches/methodologies (formal and informal), the importance of first deciding “whose needs” you want to assess; approaches for focusing on needs of target populations; costs of different approaches and tips for saving on costs, and valid ways of reporting the results.  For assessing capacity of your current legal delivery system, we will look at various components of delivery systems, focus on the core components of the system, and explore the kinds of questions that need to be answered regarding those core components.  Legal Service Developers, Senior Legal Helpline Managers, and other partners in the Model Approaches Grants should attend.
