Description: The issues of elder abuse and financial exploitation are prevalent in these uncertain times. Join us for the return of this thought-provoking class that addresses these critical issues in our society. Our expert panel will provide an overview of elder abuse and exploitation, including typology, prevalence rates, the signs to look for, and victim resources. They also will discuss how to work with victims of elder abuse or exploitation, including how to avoid making assumptions, employing effective interview techniques, and best practices for trauma-informed services to meet the special needs of older survivors.
Those who attend will also learn of the interplay between abuse and financial exploitation cases and other areas of law, including probate law, landlord-tenant, and consumer law. Attendees will also take part in a hands-on case study to practice putting these new skills and knowledge to use. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about this important topic and how to represent the interests of those vulnerable to being abused or exploited.
