Third Annual Elder Abuse Conference

RIO GRANDE, OHIO - The Area Agency on Aging District 7, Inc. (AAA7) presents the Third Annual Elder Abuse Conference: “Financial and Sexual Abuse of the Elderly and Other Vulnerable Adults” on December 3, 2004 from 8:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. in the Collins Building located on the Ohio University Southern Campus in Ironton, Ohio.

Designed to educate about the signs and symptoms of sexual and financial abuse of the elderly and other vulnerable adults, this conference will feature national speaker, investigator and instructor, Randolph W. Thomas, as well as state and local officials, as they address not only the detection of elder abuse, but also how to report it. Law enforcement, social service, medical and banking communities, as well as other interested individuals are encouraged to attend to learn how to work together to recognize and protect this vulnerable segment of our population.

Continuing Professional Education credit hours have been approved by Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia Boards for Social Workers, Licensed Professional Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, Registered Nurses (pending in KY), Nursing Home Administrators (pending in KY and WV), and Accountants (Ohio only). Law Enforcement Officers may submit their certificates to the Ohio Crime Prevention Association. For more details, please contact Debbie Crawford of AAA7 at 1-800-582-7277.
