Vulnerable adult abuse training

Wayne State's Developmental Disabilities Institute (DDI), in partnership with other organizations, is offering training on vulnerable abuse for prosecutors, advocates and law enforcement officers to meet the needs of a growing aging population, and 54 million people nationwide with disabilities. Training sessions, titled "Understanding and Investigating Vulnerable Adult Abuse and Neglect: The Role of Law Enforcement," will be offered throughout the state until November. Participants will learn skills needed to identify adult abuse, obtain accurate information from vulnerable adults and determine proper measures to offer assistance.
