In March 2011, the GAO released a report on the federal response to elder abuse.
This webcast will provide an explanation of how the report came about; an overview of the methodology used; findings about elder abuse in general; findings about the challenges facing state APS Programs; the GAO’s assessment of the federal role or lack thereof in helping APS meet those challenges; and the GAO’s recommendations to the executive branch and to Congress. The results of a nationwide survey of Adult Protective Services Administrators, conducted last summer by Life Long Justice, a project of Appleseed, will also be presented by Kathleen Quinn, Executive Director, NAPSA.
Speakers:
Clarita Mrena, Assistant Director, US Government Accountability Office (GAO) and/or her designees
Kathleen Quinn, Executive Director, National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA)
