Indeed, experts and practitioners\u003cbr\u003estrongly and consistently urge greater coordination among those who serve our aging population, those who create and regulate programs that serve older persons, and those who enforce laws designed to prohibit and redress\u003cbr\u003eabuse, exploitation, fraud, and neglect. With this in mind, the U.S. Departments of Justice (DOJ) and Health and Human Services (HHS) combined their respective public safety and social services approaches in planning this symposium. The symposium featured promising programs and projects that have brought together social service agencies, advocates, medical professionals, public safety officials, law enforcement personnel, and others\u003cbr\u003eto work toward empowering older people to live safely and implementing more effective strategies to prevent and respond to victimization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe symposium was framed around three topical themes: financial exploitation and consumer fraud, elder abuse and neglect at home, and institutional abuse and neglect. Each topic was addressed in a plenary session and a number of associated workshops focusing on promising approaches featuring strong collaborations between the public safety and social services disciplines.","brand":"1001 Property Solutions LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147532288240,"sku":"2940013614024","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013614024_p0.jpg?v=1763583029","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013614024","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
