Public Education and Professional Training
Our Team Conducts and Supports Community, Public and Professional Education. Elder abuse is frequently missed or dismissed for assorted reasons – ageism, lack of education, the mistaken belief that violent conflicts within a family are no one else’s business. We intend to give the community, public, and professionals from all occupations concrete tools to recognize and intervene in elder abuse through these educational efforts
The initial step in ending elder abuse is to dismiss misconceptions and teach those who encounter victims that it occurs commonly and can be addressed. Our goal to build awareness of elder abuse and drive direct action from the public.
We provide professional training and community education presentations throughout parts of Maryland and Virginia on elder or vulnerable adult abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. Topics cover a variety of subject matter, and presentations to audience need.
Representatives of our team have lectured about elder abuse on hundreds of occasions. We have trained faith-based communities, physicians, nurses, police, lawyers, bankers, and other professionals who might come into contact with elder abuse. We have engaged with thousands of learners in this way and support educational efforts in communities that wish to bring the message of elder abuse detection and prevention to their citizens.
