Elder Abuse in
People Living with Dementia: Considerations for Prevention, Detection and
Intervention
Wednesday, June 23, 2021 2:00-3:00 PM ET
Webinar Registration
Elder mistreatment is common in our society, particularly
among older adults with cognitive impairment and dementia. Using practical
clinical and legal tools, we can look for high-risk situations and prevent
abuse, and we can detect abuse at early stages to stop it from getting
worse. Led by a physician and an attorney with years of relevant
experience, this webinar will discuss indicators that should raise concern
and practical tips on when and how to intervene. It will also address the
complicated issue of capacity.
The webinar will be recorded and available at nadrc.acl.gov. Please direct any questions
to Sari Shuman at sshuman@rti.org.
