Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced a new series of training videos from Michigan’s Elder Abuse Task Force. The training, via the Department’s YouTube channel, focuses on recognizing, reporting and preventing elder abuse, neglect and exploitation. While the videos are geared toward in-home caregivers for older and vulnerable adults, the 11 short sessions can be helpful to anyone concerned about the well-being of our most vulnerable populations across the state. The sessions are between three and seven minutes, and pack a wealth of information into the short timeframe. Topics include: person-centered support, recognizing and understanding stressors, conflict resolution, signs of abuse, and more. “These training modules are an educational opportunity not just for those who are caregivers, but for anyone who is committed to ensuring our senior population is protected,” said Nessel. “I am grateful to the task force’s training and education committee — which includes individuals from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services — for their hard work on these important training tools.”
