Dedicated to the progress and advancement of all paralegals.
When: Wednesday, January 22, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. PT/2:00 p.m. ET.
Every advocate should know and understand the elder abuse statutes in their state. The statutes define elder abuse, establish who is eligible for services from Adult Protective Services (APS), define reporting responsibilities in the state, specify available civil legal remedies, and set the general framework for APS or law enforcement. This information empowers advocates to know what to report, when to report, who to report to, and what the process may be when a report is filed. Advocates who work with older adults and vulnerable populations should understand the elder abuse statutes and develop working relationships before they need them.
