APS Innovations Townhall on APS Language
Channel: APS Technical Assistance Resource Center
Date: 2022-09-20

With the diversity of Adult Protective Services (APS) programs and collaborators, are we speaking a common, person-centered, trauma-informed language? As the field and language evolves what terms work, what may be problematic? Additionally, how do we negotiate challenges that statute/law may pose to language use/change? This recorded event was an interactive townhall discussion to begin a step towards consensus on building the evolution of APS language use.

- Elizabeth Petruy, MPA, Project Officer, Office of Elder Justice and Adult Protective Services, Administration for Community Living
