The Social Work Department, with support from the Jewish Material War Claims Against Germany Inc. and the Baycrest Foundation, have produced "Caring for Aging Holocaust Survivors: A Practice Manual" to support families and health care providers in caring for older survivors.  The manual provides invaluable advice and strategies that can be adapted to help victims of any war or genocide.

"Our aim is to help caregivers provide the most sensitive care possible and thus enhance the quality of life for survivors everywhere," says social worker Paula David, who spearheaded the project as Baycrest's Holocaust Resource Coordinator.

Baycrest also publishes "If Not Now", an e-Journal dedicated to providing optimum care and understanding for aging survivors and their families. We are interested in opening communications with professionals and agencies working with survivors involved in health care, community agencies, social and recreational services, restitution and reparation. "If Not Now" has contributors and readers around the world.
