When your mission is to help society's most vulnerable members, it's often hard to see that work as a "business." Yet establishing a set of repeatable business processes is essential for nearly any successful state agency or community-based organization (CBO). This webinar will help your state and its provider network lock in standards that lead to more funding and better outcomes for clients.

The APS TARC is hosting a training for adult protective services and related disciplines on practical ethics. This workshop addresses ethical practice and policy decisions using teaching methodologies and content that take ethics from the dry theoretical to rich applications for all professionals. These decisions can range from concerns about whether to accept a gift that doesn’t have significant monetary value to deciding whether to leave someone at risk out of respect for their right to make autonomous decisions.

Financial exploitation and fraudulent scams aimed at older adults result in the loss of billions of dollars every year. These crimes often go unreported because victims are scared, embarrassed, or don’t know who to call. The U.S. Department of Justice National Elder Fraud Hotline, managed by the Office for Victims of Crime, provides services to adults aged 60 and older who experience fraud and exploitation to help them report the crime and access appropriate resources.
