Presented by: Candace Heisler, JD, Consultant, and Lisa Furr, MA, E-MDT Technical Assistance Advisor at Lifespan of Greater Rochester

The multidisciplinary response has long been a hallmark of elder abuse response. Several different kinds of efforts have developed, including Enhanced Multi-Disciplinary Teams and Coordinated Community Response Teams. which can both exist in the same community. They have different goals and can work in tandem or at cross purposes. Using a case study, this webinar will discuss the similarities and differences between the two and highlight how each can be a helpful way of addressing elder abuse in your community. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions, share experiences, and highlight successes. The case study will be distributed prior to the webinar to stimulate thinking and areas of discussion.
