California Elder Abuse Statewide Summit    

 

Successful Summit, More to Come...

On April 29 & 30, 2010, delegates from across the elder abuse and aging and adult services spectrum gathered in San Francisco to discuss, strategize and collaborate on recommendations and next steps for California's Elder Abuse Blueprint. Delegates prepared for the Summit by reviewing background materials and helped prioritize critical issues and promising solutions. Following the event, delegates will be asked to review summit findings and assist in the development of the statewide blueprint. 

 

In the coming weeks, look for posted materials developed during the summit as the CEJW continues to engage delegates and the aging services network in the blueprint development process.
