National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) is an equal partner, multi-disciplinary consortium with expertise in elder abuse, neglect, & exploitation. Goals: develop & disseminate information for professionals to increase elder abuse, neglect, & exploitation identification & reporting and guide programs that protect older people; provide tools to increase professional ability of those with daily access to seniors to identify, address, & prevent elder abuse, neglect, & exploitation; and promote systems change through development of programs, models, & initiatives that measurably decrease elder abuse, neglect, & exploitation incidence. The National Adult Protective Services Association will execute a 3-year program as a collaborator in the NCEA, and undertake the following activities to promote the above goals: (1) conduct a national needs assessment to identify both the elder abuse training needs of, and currently available training for, targeted professionals; (2) develop a feasible, long range strategic plan to address gaps identified in the needs assessment; (3) continue to maintain & expand the national elder abuse/APS training library; (4) continue to develop & disseminate training materials for personnel engaged in preventing, identifying, and treating elder abuse, neglect, & exploitation; (5) conduct 4 annual, national webcasts on elder abuse/APS to disseminate information for targeted professions; and (6) annually prepare & distribute an annotated bibliography of recent elder abuse research. Expected outcomes are: (1) timely, high quality information to support state & local capacity building and innovation; (2) increased professionalization of adult protection & elder abuse service networks; and (3) increased knowledge of the extent & causes of elder abuse and skills & practices for prevention.
