1 hour participatory MCLE credit

 

elderly

Program Description

Elders are often particularly vulnerable -- not only to physical abuse and neglect but also to financial abuse which may be less visible but still devastating.  According to the California State Controller’s office, the number of people in the state who are 65 and over is expected to more than double by 2060. This is an issue likely to affect everyone in the coming years.

This program will examine the various forms of elder abuse, how to recognize warning signs, and resources for assistance. The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office Elder Prevention Unit what it is and its role in addressing cases of elder abuse/exploitation will also be discussed. Time will be set aside for a question-and-answer period at the end of the presentation.
