Elder Abuse Prevention Project
The YWCA of Nashville and Middle Tennessee has partnered with
FiftyForward
,
Sexual Assault Center
, the
District Attorney General
,
Metropolitan Police Department of Nashville
, and
Adult Protective Services
to provide training to law enforcement personnel, members of the judiciary, prosecutors, and court staff on how to recognize the signs and symptoms of elder abuse.
Elder abuse is an older adult experiencing physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse or stalking, financial exploitation, or emotional abuse. This comprehensive training will enable law enforcement to develop skills to more effectively assess, investigate and prosecute cases of elder abuse in Nashville.
