In the course of supervising offenders/defendants, community corrections professionals play a crucial role in a community’s collaborative response to the abuse of elders, and they also may be statutorily mandated to report suspected elder abuse to law enforcement and/or adult protective service agencies.
The American Probation and Parole Association developed this CD-ROM training with support from the Office for Victims of Crime. This seven-module training program provides insight into the multiple types of elder abuse that you may encounter while doing your job as well as a wealth of information about the indicators of abuse, the impact of abuse on victims, and the importance of taking a proactive approach and appropriately intervening in situations where abuse is suspected. The curriculum is accredited by APPA and those who pass the final test may request a certificate of completion for six continuing education contact hours.
Cost: The cost of the CD is FREE; however, a fee of $5 will be assessed to cover shipping/handling costs. Limit ONE per order.
